I always love their banners! A perfect use for this symmetrical, neo-classical facade.

Construction of the current Parliament
Buildings started in 1893 and they were
officially opened on February 10, 1898.
The architect, Francis Rattenbury, was just
25 years old when he won the competition
to design the new buildings.
The style of the Parliament Buildings has been
described as ‘free classical’ and ‘Romanesque.’
Raw materials from throughout British
Columbia were used for the construction
of the buildings, including andesite from
Haddington Island for the 150 meter
(500-foot) long façade and granite from
Nelson Island for the foundation and front
stairs. The roof is capped by 33 copper domes
of different sizes. On top of the central dome,
stands a gold plated, two-metre tall statue of
Captain George Vancouver. Each night, the
buildings are illuminated by more than 3500
energy-efficient light bulbs.
In addition to the magnificent Parliament
Buildings, the Legislative precinct is home to
numerous landmarks of historical importance
and many beautiful fountains, trees, and
gardens.

This classic beauty, for me a latter-day Helen of Troy, was seen on the street in Chania, the second city of Crete, Greece.
I like Brahms very much! I just finished listening to his First symphony .. it's beautiful! I love classical music.
A snapshot from an evening stroll a couple of weeks ago when we didn't see another sole all the way up and along the Ridge.
Most people regard redundant gasometers as eyesores that should be demolished as quickly as possible.....and to be honest, I can't honestly put up much of an argument against with this soon to be demolished example from Weymouth. However, they have always been a source of fascination ever since I was a child. As an adult I watched many televised cricket Test Matches from the Oval in London, with the adjacent gas holder looming behind the ground. Get them whilst you can. They are disappearing fast.
