    Beacon Hill Park is right downtown in Victoria. It is 62 acres with some wild areas. Lots of ducks and wild flowers. No commercial stuff is allowed. Took this picture yesterday when I went to photograph some ducks, mainly the Northern shovelers.

    It's good to know that Beacon Hill park doesn't allow any commercial stuff - there should be more places like that around. Your photograph is lovely - what a magnificent tree.

    A 62 acre park downtown. That city has people with the capacity to think. The reason I left Lake Charles was due to the lack of intellectual prowess, especially when it came to city planning. Great picture.

    The park may want to buy that photo from you to use as their "poster child"! Beautiful!
