Victoria At Night

Posted on February 18, 2015October 16, 2022 by David Barker

Victoria is worth exploring at night, and not just because the legislature is lit up like a Christmas tree. February is off season, so the streets are really quiet. The winter emptiness underscores how much Victoria is dependent upon tourism.

    Love Trounce Alley, I always visit that button shop but it looks a bit scary at night.
