At Large Yesterday in Victoria

Posted by Brendan Kiley on Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 9:35 AM

After a long walk past fast-food restaurants, check-cashing places, empty storefronts, and (eventually) a warehouse district, I found the town dump/scrap recycling center. Nobody seemed to be there, so I got to walk around. "You didn't get to walk around the dump," my wife corrected me when I told her where I'd been. "You were trespassing." I guess you could interpret it that way—but no harm, no foul!

Two domes.

Carbon skullprint.

Pick a lane, guys.

Back atcha.

Ska.

Metal.

Lots of metal.

Twenty car pile-up.

Mountains of mulch.

Large barge.

Victoria also has a museum that puts anything in Seattle to shame. In addition to the land fill, checking cashing places etc. that Seattle also has.

Ah, Rock Bay. Massively polluted, cleanup underway with hitches. Think "Duwamish Industrial Area", on a smaller scale but still tricky. Also, nice selfpic.

I don't know how they handle trespassing in Canada, but in the states, it is not trespassing unless it is clearly posted "NO TRESPASSING"...although I do not believe it needs to be in all CAPS!.

Tell your wife she is wrong. I know from personal experience that girlfriends and wives love hearing that from their man!
