Yesterday, I got a direct message in Bluesky from someone I don't know. They live in the other tower of our complex. They'd noticed an image taken from our balcony and sent a message saying hi. I answered and mentioned we've now lived in Carnarvon Place for a long time. In order to drive home the point, I messaged back the following image shot from our balcony and uploaded in 2005.
It was taken with my first digital camera. It is the first example of the down-river view I found at my Flickr account. Rather than try to reproduce the shot, I'll simply add my most recent photo taken in the same direction. I used it as the sole entry here in my journal at the beginning of the month.
Things have surely changed in our little city! It's also important to note that the top image was taken seven years after we bought our apartment here. This is why 'old people' talk about time flying, I guess.
