Photographer’s Note

On my trip to Canada with my sister, we stopped at Victoria on our way back from Whistler. I had my first trip on a ferry ever, and then we drove straight to Victoria, checked into our room and took a walk to the harbour area. This gorgeous sky greeted my first sight of the Parliament buildings.

The Victoria Parliament Buildings also known as BC Government Parliament Buildings are located in city of Victoria. These buildings are spread over 12 and half ½ acres on a street across Inner Harbor of Victoria.

Victoria Parliament Buildings were built in 1893 by architect Francis Rattenbury. The architect was just 25 years of age when he created these buildings. The Parliament Buildings were constructed in the honor of Queen Victoria when she celebrated her diamond jubilee. It took about more than 12 years period to construct these buildings. The Parliament Buildings were completed in 1915.
