A Magnificent View

This background picture was taken from the deck of NightSkies Victoria Ocean-Front Bed and Breakfast. It is representative of what is visible looking out from the breakfast table, living room or fireside bedroom windows of our home. The photo was taken without magnification using a 35mm SLR camera.

The body of water in the immediate foreground is the Esquimalt Lagoon, a salt water lagoon which opens to the ocean on the left of this picture (not visible here).

The spit of land stretching horizontally along the centre of this picture is called  the Cobourg Penninsula, and it separates the lagoon from Esquimalt Harbour entrance sometimes called Royal Bay. "The Spit" is an excellent place to go for a walk almost any time, and is either a 15 minute walk or a three minute drive from NightSkies.

 

On the horizon to the left you can see two of the cranes at Esquimalt Harbour. At the horizon centre is the Esquimalt Naval Base called Naden. The right horizon is the city of Victoria.

Due to cloud cover on the day this was taken, Mount Baker ( behind the cranes) is  not visible. Likewise the Cascade range normally peeks out behind the buildings of Victoria.
