Swan Lake

This is a big photo so give it time to load. The recent spate of good weather led me to the top of nearby Christmas Hill. I've taken photos of downtown Victoria before from up here, but I tried a different angle instead.

The small lake in the foreground is Swan Lake in Saanich. It's a nature sanctuary and a great place to go for a walk to rejuvenate your spirits. In the background you can see downtown Victoria and beyond that the mountains of Washington State.
