All this odd weather has provided for some nice photo opportunities though. The sunset shot above was taken on a day that started off wet and cloudy, then turned to clear and sunny, but it always remained very crisp and cold. Everytime I look at the colours of this photo it reminds me of the sharp bite of that day's temperature.
On my walk home from work that day I saw some sea otters playing on the docks in the Inner Harbour. They were climbing around the kayaks beside that restaurant down there. Unfortunately all my photos of the critters were too blurry or obscured by kayaks and other harbour items. There was no clear shot of the little guys and they moved really fast. The shots I did get mostly show fur balls or tails and heads sticking out from behind polls. Nothing good enough to post on the old blog.
Asuka and I have started looking around at condos to purchase. We know what we want, and what we can get, and now we're just looking and waiting for the right place to pop up on the market. We want to stay walking distance from downtown since we both work here. It's hard finding nice places in this area that don't cost a fortune though. Actually, it's hard to find nice places anywhere in this city that don't cost insane amounts, but the downtown area condos definitely cost a bit more. We're patient though, and I know something right will come around eventually.
It will be great to finally become a property owner, for investment purposes, to stop wasting money away every month on rent, and for many other reasons. But I'm still feeling a bit nauseous at the idea of owing decades of income. I don't like being in debt, but, how else can anyone own property in this city these days? I still have the distant dream of winning the lottery sometime soon. I guess I should get around to buying some lottery tickets so that dream can come to fruition.

I agree, the weather is producing some interesting conditions for walking and shooting, no doubt. Nice shot!
