The Mediterranean is out, and the Alps are in. Yesterday, we hiked over 12 km up to Lago di Sorapis in Cortina d’Ampezzo (here's the Strava post). It was definitely on the more difficult side, but not as difficult as something like the Grouse Grind in North Vancouver — which has been called "Mother Nature's Stairmaster." The difference here is that there are a handful of exposed faces with steep drop-offs, the kind that immediately make my palms sweaty and force me to grab the steel support cables with everything I've got. The views and payoff (Lago di Sorapis) were worth it though. The Dolomites are such a beautiful and unique mountain range.

Today's post is a follow-up to yesterday's post about a new community currently under construction in Nice's Var valley. The following photos were captured on a Fujifilm X-T3 and edited in Lightroom.

I love Toronto. It's my favorite city. And every so often, there will be a moment that explicitly reminds me why I love it so much. That happened yesterday when I walked down a laneway off College Street to find a somewhat hidden sushi spot called Oroshi Fish Co. Right away I was delighted by the combination of the small street and the mix of uses housed on it. But then, I walked inside to find two guys manhandling the carcass of an enormous bluefin tuna, and that's when I really said to myself, "man, Toronto is awesome." The sushi is some of the best you'll find in the city.

Here are a few photos.
