do, so local differences such as urban vs. suburban vs. rural, homeowner vs. tenant, driver vs. non-driver, labourer vs. academic etc. become much more prominent. I'm reposting these pics from the Canada section.. all are pics I took over the weekend while in Victoria. All of the locations are downtown or immediately adjacent to downtown (Chinatown and James Bay). Haha.. as I mentioned, Victoria does have some buildings in the 15-25 story range but I was too busy doing other things to take many pictures. The tallest office building I saw downtown was the CIBC building and was about the size of the Homburg building on Brunswick St. Most of the tallest buildings are condos and apartments; the newer ones are basically on par with all but the tallest that you'd see in Vancouver, although there seemed to be a conscious effort to avoid the standard column-shaped condos in favour of more irregular shapes; the older ones are comparable to the buildings around Lacewood and Willett. They all looked quite nice but none of them were outstanding enough to compel me to take any pictures. I'll try to get some next time I'm there though. I've spent a total of 4 summers planting trees and doing other forestry related work - I've actually worked in NS, NB, ON, MB, AB, and BC during the summers since I started university. I'm currently living just outside Revelstoke BC waiting for the ski hill to open Well done! I have mad respect for
