Roadside Art Display

On our very first day at Victoria, British Columbia, after check-in at Fisher’s House, we went out for a walk in the neighbouring streets. Along the street where Fisher’s House lay were all residential houses. Turning into another street, we found shops like our Watson’s or Mannings' or supermarkets which sold all kinds of household goods, medicine, seasonings, stationery, food and fruit. The prices of things sold here were comparatively dearer than those in Vancouver.

On our way to the Parliament Buildings, we passed a café which provided free wireless internet service. Two men were sitting at a small table chatting outside the café. They each had a drinking cup on the table. One of them was dressed in black with a pair of stylish long boots and a green cap.

At the kerb of the pavement were fixed two artistic sculptures. They must have been welded together by different pieces of metals. The one on the right showed a long-haired lady riding a bicycle. This lady wore a beautiful hat and her long hair flew as the bicycle was running. Her stretching legs in her bell-bottomed trousers added much fun to the whole sculpture. It was more interesting to find that the lady was carrying some live flowers in a basket at the front of her bicycle. For the second sculpture, I was totally confused by the wires wrapped up by scrapes of metal. It looked as if it would form an electric lamp.
