Craigdarroch Castle
Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria, British Columbia, is a historic, Victorian-era Châteauesque mansion. :: [Edmund Lowe]
* * * *
"…After a life of prayer,
blisters from the long walk, scratches
from the thorn bushes that over-
lean the narrow path, a soul
should accumulate as much mass
as an apple, or a pocket New Testament,
gravity you can feel in your hands…"
from “Weight of the soul” in When an atheist says bless you by Paul Jolly, p. 69

Going West
Life happens and it’s been challenging at times to juggle travel with business affairs, personal affairs and blogging. And with the passage of each passing day, it’s become increasingly more difficult to return to summer events with the same vitality...

OK SO FOR EVERYONE WHO NEEDS IT THE MANOR THAT THE BOY WAS FILMED WAS AT CRAIGDARROCH CASTLE IN VICTORIA, CANADA
HERES SOME MOVIE TO IRL COMPARISONS
This unfortunately is moreso for the interior and general exterior of the house itself, they ofc added like…trees in post so it’s kind of unclear of WHERE the manor is supposed to be, plus the house is in like a neighborhood too, but it has a pretty field behind it!!!

[Urban Sketching] Opus Daily Practice 12
The prompt was fusion today but I skipped the prompt and did some drawings on location. I have been blocked the past couple of days and going exploring helped, I think.
The sky looks nice and clear in the photo of Craigdarroch Castle, but it was grey and rainy during most of the painting to the point I had to put my umbrella over my sketchbook to stop the drizzle from smudging my lines. You can also tell I was hurrying and losing control of my lines because my hands were so cold, sob.
The painting at Dallas Road about 3 hours later was easier, it was nice and sunny and warm for most of it and it was a much simpler subject.

Tofino!
I mean, it’s four hours away so it’s not that close. But I have been on the Island for almost 4 years now.
Also Craigdarroch Castle.
Is it like Casa Loma or is it better?
Actually, I think there’s a lot in Victoria that I want to see and haven’t since…

my boyfriend and i went to victoria bc recently and we of course had to stop in at craigdarroch castle, which i’d been to before loooong ago and which i instantly recognized a few years back as the set for the divinely mediocre horror movie the boy (about the girl who gets hired to be a nanny for a porcelain doll by parents who don’t seem to know their son is a porcelain doll; shenanigans ensue!)
and we really wanted to go in and act like we were like the #1 the boy superfans on a the boy pilgrimage, but we didn’t quite have the moxy to mess with the tour guides that hard
but in retrospect part of me wishes we had

MIKEY MORBIUS / “THE LIVING VAMPIRE”
Formerly known throughout UVic as one of the most exceptional students in his field, an experimental treatment for his rare blood condition turned him into a terrifying creature of the night. Mikey currently resides in Castle Craigdarroch, giving guided tours by day while he covertly subsists on the blood of corrupt cops and politicians. However, as time goes on, his bloodlust seems harder and harder to control...
