McNeill Bay

Victoria

on March 13 1843 a Hudson’s Bay Company (principal fur-traders) steamship anchored here in McNeill Bay, and the next day officials on board went ashore and selected a site for Fort Victoria, to be the company’s trading post here at the southern end of Vancouver Island..in 1862 the name was shortened to Victoria

Without doubt, the punctum is her derriere, flexed and then directing the eye to the wide expanse of the bay, a cadet blue with the white wake of a speedboat echoing the white wispy wafts of clouds, before they consolidate, break off and float away on high.

A beautiful view on a lovely summer day. Nice with the turning boat and the speck of sail in the distance.

Stunning vista toward the ocean. Viewers peering out over it makes this image into a kind of look looking, so to speak. V
