A church with a belfry. This one was modeled after Danish ones of the 12th century. There are two model ships inside hanging from the ceiling which is traditional in Denmark. Unfortunately there was no one around so no pics.

The next tag is a marina. Or for you inlanders a jogging path. This one is called the sea wall in Coal harbour.

Good one Garth! I see rusty Seaspan scows in the background too! I met up with Trevor and we found a marina! This is the Oak Bay Marina where all of the snobs tie up their yachts and run up huge bar bills!:eek:

Next tag to follow shortly!:D

This is one of my favourite joints in town. I swing by here every now and then and have their Oyster burger, truly awesome!:D The fries are so good I don't even use taste remover, er, I mean ketchup!;) Just a little salt and they're perfect.:)

(However, on this day we just stopped by for a photo):p
 
Just remember. It's all Photoshopped. There's really two feet of snow here ! We don't want to lose our rep...:D

Sorry for the really crappy photos. My flip phone + low light = :oops:
Time for a really tough one. Ferris Wheel or any amusement ride.

You have to realize that when you have your fairs up north, we don't.
This is the time of year they put up small events in parking lots to test for any defects and work the bugs out in the equipment. Free admisson to snowbirds and foreigners, so they can't complain if there are malfunctions. To make it easier, it doesn't have to be a ferris wheel. A merry-go-round, kiddie roller coaster, miniature train ride, bumper cars, any ride you normally associate with a fair will do.

There really is 2 feet of snow here...well a lot more with 15" more dropped yesterday. It's not the cold but the roads, with snow and ice, are impossible to safely ride with the bike so not much contribution to the game from me other than this morning's pix from my deck. Snowshoeing, not riding is the sport of the day here.

I knew someone had to have a permanent Ferris wheel somewhere. Good going Garth, but I might have to do a search on this one. The only track that I knew of, was Ben White Raceway, a harness track. They tore that down nearly a decade ago. Now it's a riding park and more softball fields. We have got to be the Softball capital of the world. I do know of a training track out in the sticks, but there are no stands. Maybe Eric or someone else can get this one. I've got a day of rain forcasted down here, so I'm out for atleast a day maybe two.
 
As the closest track to you is Tampa and apparently Nevada has none. Plus the fact there are few playing, I'll loosen the tag a bit. Any kind of race track. Horse, dog, car bike, whatever.....

I know of a horse training track near by, but I can also head to Orlando Speed World, New Symerna Speedway , Daytona International, Volusia County Speedway, Sebring, USA Speedway in Lakeland, another drag strip near OIA. Oh yeah, I almost forgot Disney has a track.;)

The gambling capital of the world doesn't have a horse track?

The weather here is looking like it will be an early spring, might actually get the T on the road by april.

I can't wait to get back in the game.
