The Butchart Gardens

In 1904 Robert Butchart built a cement plant among limestone deposits by the Tod Inlet on Victoria Island.  As the limestone deposits were consumed for the production of cement, Jennie Butchart planned to convert the area to create something of beauty from the exhausted limestone pit.  And that she did.  It is now apparently on the 1,000 Places to See Before You Die list.

That’s a good idea because amateur photographs never do a place like this justice.
