We have a new mayor here in Toronto, and regardless of whether or not you voted for him (I did), I think most Torontonians are happy to see the back of Mel Lastman, an embarrassment at best and a lying, cheating scoundrel at worst. And despite the anyone-is-better-than-Mel rationale, I’m actually excited about this new guy, not only because he lives in my neighbourhood, but because his policies are suitably progressive. So excited, in fact, that I’m surprised I’ve waited until now to mention it.

NYC pictures are up. There are only a handful. I didn’t notice it at the time but sorting them today made me realise that my picture-taking habits change the more I know a place. It’s not all about the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building anymore, as you will see (although, apparently, it IS all about the Chrysler Building). One tries to find more interesting ways to capture a place one already knows, I suppose.

The more exotic, and doubtless, enticing, China and South Korea pictures will have to wait. There are just too many of them and not enough of me right now.
