Fairfield is a nice upscale residential neighbourhood with leafy streets and older, heritage type houses. Riding through there the other day, I found a few things of particular interest.
This is the Chinese cemetery In 1903 the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association purchased 3.5 acres of land at Harling Point and established the Chinese Cemetery. The cemetery lies beside the rocky shore of Harling Point, looking out towards the Olympic Mountains. Simple markers and a ceremonial altar are found among wildflowers in a setting selected according to the ancient concept of feng shui.
On the way back as I was cycling along Hollywood Crescent, our old stomping grounds from 50yrs ago, I noticed this cute little installation along the way.
Another of these quirky little roadside attractions one finds in Victoria.
This is so detailed, it must have been a labour of love
Just as I got on my bike and continued on my way, I heard that characteristic chirping of eagles and, sure enough, when I looked up, there was a pair of them right over the road.
