Yeah, here I go again with the yellow houses. I will post another one tomorrow too!

A typical Karaim house in Trakai, Lithuania. Karaims are a minority ethnic group in parts of Lithuania, most notably in Trakai. Read more about them on Wikipedia.

Vic and Jen in Trakai, Lithuania

Wow, it has been almost 2 years since I last updated my "blog" on March 6th, 2008. I have been pretty good at keeping my photo album updated with new pics though, so that sort of filled the gap.

It's not that I didn't have anything to write about. In fact, these last couple of years have been some of the busiest and most fun times of my life. Without getting into a long play-by-play of the last two years of my life, here's a selection of highlights, with links to related photos (of course):

July 12 2008: Jen and I got married!
July 18-27 2008: Honeymoon bike tour, Lake Erie
July 2009: European vacation (Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and all over Lithuania)
Ongoing: I maintain a community website for my neighbourhood, and love to take photos all over this part of town. We also have a great new park/trail here: The West Toronto Railpath.
Urban Exploration photography: General Electric, NRI, High Park house, Firestone, Karate Garage, abandoned church, Don Jail, Concord Floral, Park Plaza Hotel, Tower Automotive.

I have made a bit of a promise (or is that a challenge?) to myself to keep this website updated much more frequently from now on. The main thing I want to do is maintain a photo blog in addition to the huge pile of photos in my complete album. My goal with the photo blog is to post a photo every day, along with the occasional bits of other "stuff" that I might find interesting. I hope you'll enjoy it too.

And please feel free to leave comments on any of my posts. The fact that so many people are commenting here about pigeon eggs is kind of amusing, but I'd like some variety too.

Cheers!
Vic
