Before this rare westcoast cold snap lets up and melts away, I headed to the BC Legislature grounds to grab some photos of this icy January day in Victoria. It’s the first time I’ve seen the fountains frozen, they were stunning on a clear cold day.

Both of the fountains on the BC Leg. grounds have a spectacular build-up of ice on them.

The fountain in the back wasn’t as frozen, since it sees a bit more sun maybe? But it was full of icicles.

My hands were frozen after about 30 min taking photos, but it was worth it.
