My backyard

My backyard has changed from the lush greens in the summer and couple of feet of snow in the winter to steel, glass, and concrete year round.

I did not think much about this when I was looking for a place in Toronto, but since I was a kid, I always thought it would be cool to live in a high-rise in a downtown area with the glitters of city lights poking through the glass windows.

Well, I am now fifteen floors up and the view is not too bad.  Facing south, I can see some parts of the Toronto Islands and parts of Lake Ontario.  On a normal day, there is enough light out there I could walk around my place without turning on my lights.  On a foggy night, the view could be quite interesting.  I will see how winter will shape the scene--we just had the first snow fall this year in this area and temperature has fallen down to -1 degree this morning.
