Vancouver, British Columbia

Photographer: Chuck Jones


To commemorate 100 years of government in British Columbia, the Vancouver Daily Province Magazine chose as their feature cover page the heart of the province, Victoria's legislative buildings.


Staff photographer Chuck Jones captured this unique shot on a cloudy day from a Cessna 140 2,000 feet above the world-renowned buildings built by 26-year-old architect Francis Rattenbury in the 1890s.
