Dragon Boats in Victoria Harbour

On the last Saturday of our visit to Beth's home in Victoria we hustled down to the harbour and watched the Dragon Boat Races from both the bleachers and later from a boat. Very cool and fun. I really liked getting the sea plane in this shot.


The buildings across the harbour never fail to attract me and I applaud the architects who planned such suitable designs for the space.

This heron was entranced by the activity on the water and took a break to study the strange goings on.

What is it about water that makes ordinary things seem so much better? Here the blue-roofed buildings enhance the watery wonder.

Finally we see a duller background which complements the reds of the rowers. Magically nature seems to know how to compose pictures.


Tomorrow's pictures will take a totally new bent so farewell to Victoria for now.
