Victoria, Vancouver Island, BC
Built November 16, 1860 Now Automated 48° 26' N 123° 27' W
- a National Historic Site - The first lighthouse on Canada's west coast is still in operation! There hasn't been a keeper here since the light was automated in 1929, but every year many thousands of visitors step inside a real l9th century lighthouse, and capture some of the feeling of ships wrecked and lives saved.
A day touring our local regional area during Covid. Easy Social Distancing. Relaxing just below the Fisgard Lighthouse looking out to the water.

Located just outside of Victoria, British Columbia, this picturesque lighthouse highlights a fantastic historical and natural area. At a $3.90 entry free, it is one of the best bargains in Canada. This is 4 minute exposure taken from the lower battery of Fort Rodd.

Just outside the main wall. I think breaking through the bars would be easier than avoiding the rifles in the gun slits...

Mi padre me contó que esta belleza era la fucsia "original" y que todas las demás fucsias habÃan salido de ésta. Investigando un poco, encontré que hay algo de cierto en esta afirmación, al menos en cuanto a Europa, ya que acá en la Isla tenemos nuestras propias fuccias nativas (no estoy segura si endémicas), la Fucsia triphylla. Esta la historia que encontré:
Hay una referencia a una fucsia con el nombre de "Thiles" en el "Journal des Observaciones Botaniques" en 1725. Thiles parece ser la versión francesa de la Thilco español, o Tilco. Sin embargo, Thilco, o más propiamente Chilco, se deriva del nombre con el que los indÃgenas mapuches del sur de Chile se refieren a su nativa Fuchsia magellanica. En la lengua mapuche, Chilco significa "lo que crece cerca del agua", porque crece en abundancia en las áreas húmedas, pero con buen drenaje, a lo largo de arroyos y lagos. [Wikipedia en inglés]

My father told me that this beauty was the "original" fuchsia and that all other fuchsias came from this one. After a little research, I found that there is some truth in this assertion, at least in Europe, since here on the island we have our own native fuchsias (not sure if endemic), the Fucsia triphylla. This was the story I found:
There is a reference to a fuchsia under the name of "Thiles" in the Journal des Observations Botaniques in 1725. Thiles seems to be the French version of the Spanish, Thilco or Tilco. However, Thilco, or more properly Chilco, is derived from the name by which the indigenous Mapuche people of Southern Chile referred to their native Fuchsia magellanica. In the Mapuche language, Chilco means "that which grows near the water" and this is a reference to its being found growing abundantly in moist but well-drained areas along streams and lakes. In Chile today, F. magellanica is still called Chilco. [English Wikipedia]
