Show'n'tell'n'whatever

Oh, alright. Here are some photos I took the day I arrived.

In sequence:

1. My house. Kitchen and living room on top floor with walk-out; my bedroom window is the bottom-left.
2. The view of town from my porch (I live on the edge of the city, at the top of the ridge above the bay).
3. The bay as seen from my yard.
4. A good approximation of how dark it gets at night. I think this photo was taken at about 1am.

Blogging is fun! Don't skip the serious post below.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it - is to take one photograph every hour, over 24 hours. I think it would be neat to see the amount of sunlight! Of course, I say that back in Toronto and it doesn't rely on me to be sleep deprived :P

E, you will appreciate this - I thought of you:

(while my boss was showing me around in his truck on my first day here)

My boss: Actually, most of the best art in town comes from local artisans you will meet in restaurants. They come around to tables selling what they've made, and some of it is really phenomenal. You're free to haggle over price.

Me: Haggle? How inflated is their first price?

Boss: Oh, all you have to do is say "What's your best price for this?" and they'll tell you. Sometimes they'll come right out and say, "This costs $180 or $160."

Me (in my head): Pfft. Amateurs.


Wish you were here! You would find this really cool.
