This photo was taken at Sooke potholes [British Columbia, Canada]. In 1982 a man named Albert Yuen purchased the land next to the potholes to build a five star resort. After about 10 years of rezoning and material shortages the resort was only 20% complete. The rest was never built. In 2004 the city of Sooke took over the property and it is now closed off to the public. There is little that remains of the property, considering it’s hanging off a cliff. It’s a miracle the ruins are still there. This picture is of one of its huge fire pits.
This photo that I took is of a door, they think, is over 90 years old. Philips Brewing Company bought the land in 1992 and this door was in the basement of the brothel. So they decided to install it as their side entrance to there storage area. I asked around, but no one really knows were the door came from or why it was there. I thought it was super cool. Obviously, they had to retro fit it so it’s not 100% old anymore, but i thought it was a really cool door
After having a good 30 minute conversation with this man. I found out he usually performs in downtown Victoria [B.C., Canada] as ‘Darth Vader’. This happened to be the first time he had performed without his costume.
When I was taking this shot I was thinking about summer time; this intersection is always crazy busy. Tourist season is nuts in Victoria. I found it funny that there was no one there. If it was summer you’d be surrounded.
