The Indian 'Bighouse' at Thunderbird Park in Victoria. From Wikipedia:

"Thunderbird Park is a park in Victoria, British Columbia next to the Royal British Columbia Museum. The park is home to many totem poles (mostly Gitxsan, Haida, and Kwakwaka'wakw) and other First Nations monuments. Also in the park are a carving studio, St. Anne's Schoolhouse (built 1844), Helmcken House (built in 1852 by Dr. John Helmcken), and Mungo Martin House (Wawadit'la), a traditional Kwakwaka'wakw "big house" built in 1953 by Kwakwaka'wakw Chief Mungo Martin. The park is part of the Royal BC Museum Cultural Precinct, an area around the museum that contains a number of historical sites and monuments."

Hi Chris, great shot of the "Bighouse". The totem pole on the right balances the shot. Too bad the sky wasn't great, but still an eyecatching shot.
You seem to have found a lot of totem poles in BC - I had no idea there were so many scattered around.
Have a great holiday season!

Hi Chris,

Nice shot and great idea. Good sharpness and detail. Well composed. Well done!

Merry Xmas and happy new year.

nice big smile, Chris.
simple, but interesting enough to view and appreciate the ethnic painting.
the carving on the pole is no less beautiful and as Trudy puts it, it balances your shot here. well done!
