Sublime Sunday ~ Dinner ~ Sunset Harbour Walk ~ Wizard and Gnome si...

This is my first entry for #SublimeSunday by @c0ff33a. Join me for a Sunday stroll.

Friends took us to dinner at a cool vegetarian restaurant downtown. Our friend Jane, in the hot pink dress, is getting the eye from the guy in the doorway.

I don't know why I felt guilty taking a photo inside... I'm sure nobody minded. I kinda did this from beneath the table in any case. The food was awesome.

After dinner, we set off for a walk around part of the inner harbour. It was a beautiful warm summer night.

A sailboat was heading out for an evening tour. The water taxis were busy.

Notice the number of cranes in these shots... Victoria is in the midst of a huge construction boom.

The sun burned a hole right through that condo... they don't make 'em like they used to I guess.

As the sun set, we turned back towards the tourist shopping district.

Three large cruise ships were in port and the streets were busy with tourists.

The city wants to ban horse-drawn carriages... now I see this for the first time.

Johnson Street, looking back towards the new lift bridge. Sometimes you get a break in traffic if the bridge is up.

I was checking out Roberta's Hats when I saw a familiar figure in the window... That's not... could it be? @Luigi-the-gnome is this one of your family? A cousin perhaps?

Just then, I turned and saw a strange figure approaching. The man was easily seven feet tall if you count the hat... I struggled to focus the camera. There was no way he didn't see me taking his photo. I felt I should say something.

"Dude... I love your hat. Are you a Wizard?"

He looked down at me with amused disdain. "Yes" he said and walked away.
