After a dozen years, I would most definitely consider this home. Strangely, I don't feel like an expert. Even if one had always lived in the same spot on the earth, I suppose they're really not experts. Nobody can be. Things change. One's view of the place they are is unique for many reasons.
Most strikingly, I was considering what a small percentage of my city, I actually visit. There are streets within a mile of the apartment on which my feet have never traversed. When out of the house, it is quite amazing how few paths one generally takes. The way to work, the road to shopping, the street for the errands are where I usually go.
Well, digital photography as a hobby does get me off my beaten paths. Luckily, New Westminster, BC is a tiny little city. The total land area is 15.3 square kilometers, so I'm promising to take a better effort to look at it from every angle. Today, I went to the Queensborough boardwalk along Fraser River. It's part of the Port Royal residential developments that are continuing to change the entire east end of Lulu island.
