I bought my first digital SLR camera in December 2007 as Christmas present for myself. I took a digital photography class for beginner in early 2008. Yeah… it’s a real beginner class. They even teach us how to hold SLR camera properly on the first day. 
Recently, I just realized that I have taken more than 7500 pictures since 2007. Here is my 7500th picture:
It is not a spectacular picture. I didn’t make any special preparation for this picture. I didn’t even know that I was going to take my 7500th picture.
Where did I take this picture? It was taken in Niagara on the Lake. No… no…. it is not at the Falls of Niagara. Niagara on the Lake is a beautiful small city in Ontario, Canada. It is about 30 minutes drive from the Falls of Niagara.
Anyway… I am looking forward for my 10,000th picture.

Finally… for the first time in my life, I visited the Niagara Falls, one of the biggest waterfalls in the world. The Niagara Falls lie on the Niagara River at the border of Canadian province of Ontario and US state of New York.
There are three falls in total. Two of them, American Falls and Bridal-veil Falls are in the United States side. The biggest one, Horseshoe Falls, is mostly in the Canadian side. Interestingly, most Americans say that American Falls is more beautiful than the Canadian one (Horseshoe Falls); and most Canadians say that Horseshoe fall is more beautiful than the American one.
I took a panorama picture of Niagara Falls yesterday. The left ones are American Falls and Bridal-veil Falls; the right one is Horseshoe Falls.
The second picture below is American Falls. Do you see a little boat at the bottom? It is Maid of the Mist, a boat tour going to the Falls.
The last picture is Maid of the Mist boat tour going to Horseshoe Falls. It looks very scary, isn’t it? I can tell you, it is indeed really scary when you’re there.

Finally… I had time to take some pictures here in Cambridge, Canada. As you may know, I have been very busy with relocation and a new job in the last couple of weeks. Yes… really didn’t have time to do anything else than work.
This morning, I had a chance going to a park near our apartment. Well… winter is just over in Canada, spring has not really come yet; so the pictures are so…. don’t know what you call it in English. I think the park is going to be very beautiful in spring time. I’ll upload mode pictures later.
Anyway, the first and second picture below are the views from our apartment (living room). As you can see, our apartment is just on the river side.
While walking on the park, I met this little goose. Not sure what he/she’s doing… crossing the street like a lonely goose.
The last picture might be the most interesting one. I managed to take a picture of two birds waiting for sunset. Wait a minute, didn’t I say I went to the park “in the morning”? How come the birds are waiting for sunset? Well… it’s just a trick of photography. I changed the white balance of the picture; so it looks “warmer”.
