Photographs from a closer perspective
It’s fun to take shots of objects from different perspectives. Things that look ordinary from a distance can look really special closer up.

Travelling to Stockholm
In April I’m going to Stockholm, Sweden. I want to visit Stockholm because it’s so different from Toronto. It’s built on 14 islands and is connected by 57 bridges which totally amazes me. I’ve been researching “places to visit and sites to see in Stockholm”. I came across an interesting article that lists 10 Things to Do in Stockholm and…
