The problem with snow in the city sometimes is that after awhile it looks a whole lot better on trees than on the ground. On the ground after being trodded upon, kicked around and run down it turns a mushy brown. And so I look to the trees.

Given that most of everything in Toronto right now is white with snow, one would think that one could never have, "too much green", but after browsing my photos from a recent trip to Ireland, I batch converted most of them to BW. It rains so often there that everything seems to be green. The overcast skies in particular didn't help. On the day of this picture however, things cleared up quite a bit and instead of flat green I saw the blue of the sky, yellows in the highlights and deeper greens in the shadows. Part of the reason why this one slipped past the BW conversion guillotine

New York seems to have the highest concentration of Christmas decorations and good food during the holidays. It makes quite the combination, which is why I go there every year before hitting up Toronto.
This was taken my second day in Ireland. I was heading up the coast and saw a ray of light streaking across the sky. For the next several kilometers I patiently waited for a carpark or a place where I could turn off to take a picture. As it turns out, it was right next to a small farm with curious sheep. When I approached the fence, they excitedly ran towards me. However, once they found out I had no food to offer, they quickly lost interest and decided to observe me from afar.
So here I go again. Another blog, another purpose. This time to make me less lazy and more inspired. I really should start with my pictures from Japan, but that would probably mean that this site never gets up, so I'll start with Ireland, and I'll throw in random images as I see fit. Hopefully, this will become something I update several times a week.
