Building Details

More photos of the Parliament Building.  I took a lot of photos over several days.






I think this might be a lion.






A floral face.






A little owl.






Statue of Law atop the Parliament Building, Victoria BC.
A statue holding a book titled "Law" and standing on a plinth labeled "Law."  I'm going to guess this is a personification of Law.







Carved book beneath a carved crown on the library wing of the Parliament Building, Victoria BC.

This set of photos does not include the ones I took of the stained glass or the building's interior.
