I can't remember if this has been mentioned before, but I would really like if someone here would try this technique with local photos. It's amazing.

I believe that was actually a Kermode Bear. In other words, a white black bear and not a Kodiak (brown) bear.

That's one casual bear. Or one mighty depressed bear. Take your pick.

Some more interesting archival pics:

I always like seeing those very old buildings with very large windows. Conventional wisdom says a building must have small windows to fit in with the old town area. But it just ain't so.

Apparently there's a fossil of that robin and its nest inside the cathedral.

It's a very old cathedral.

The Sedco offshore drilling rig was born at the old Victoria Machinery Depot at Ogden Point in 1966, the last major project the firm completed.
Cool.

There are some pretty cool pics around of the Sedco Platform when complete though not going to dig them up right now.
