Starting With British Columbia

I have my first official guest posting, so I know at least one person read my blog.

These are some photos from British Columbia or BC as Canadians know it. British Columbia is the third largest and most westerly province in Canada, it's larger than any of the U.S. states, except Alaska, and is four times larger than Great Britain.  The Pacific Ocean is to the West. Above the province is Alaska, and below it borders 3 states: Washington, Idaho and Montana. Victoria is the provincial capitol, with Vancouver being the largest city. B.C. was the sixth province added to Canada, and it joined the confederation on July 20, 1871. The province has 1,030 parks and protected areas.

Victoria’s is the first and oldest Chinatown in Canada and second oldest in
 North America after San Francisco.

So there you are. A little bit of a look at BC. I know there is so much more to show, so get your cameras out!
