I actually believed that to get to that view point wouldn't be easy. But in fact it is really accessible, being along Stanley Park drive and close to Prospect Point. Proof that I need to go on a recon mission into Stanley Park.

Lions Gate Bridge, Vancouver, BC - June 13th 2010

The Canadian Navy just celebrated 100 years of existance, and here in Victoria we lit things on fire, shone lights around, and blew stuff up. The usual.

Slightly more seriously, there was an excellent 15 minute long firework display, and as I’d volunteered with a local group to work with the lanterns and light art that was part of the display, about fifteen of us got the best seats in the city for the fireworks, right out on Fisgard Island.

More on my Flickr set. My little camera does surprisingly good night & firework shots, actually.
