Caption: I love Vancouver,
but it got too big'n'fast for me.
I moved to Victoria
in March, 2012.
At 1/9th Vancouver's size,
it was slow enough
& small enough
to enjoy at my speed.
This is the Victoria
that helped me heal
and sort through my life.
I'll always love it.

the blue bridge is iconic,

It's the end of an era.
A beautiful new bridge is to come.
