Hi Everyone,

Look what I found here!

Keep up the good work Serban!

I did it! 21 min and 48 sec.

After thinking about it for 8 years, I climbed today the 1776 (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) stairs, that is 144 flights of 12 stairs plus ten more flights of stairs, I believe these are just nine stairs per flight.

Using good advice, my morning started at 5:00 a.m. Zoomed through the drive through of a Tim Hortons to pick up a dozen timbits to get me the energy for the climb and by 6:00 am I was in the parking lot beside the tower.

Signed the waiver, and here I am, starting to climb the stairs of CN Tower, now the second tallest free standing structure in the world.

I started with a father and his 10 year old son that was ahead of us. By flight 50, I left the father behind. A few more flights of stairs, and I ...

Hurray, I finally got here!

This is picture number 100:

Boy, it took me a while...

Anyway, the ride was fun and still is. I am happy to be a part of such a great community as DT is.

I learned a lot in this year and now my goal is to submit more stock oriented pictures while trying to get myself out of the approval rating slump.

I am going fishing here and will try to post picture number 100 from DT...

Hmmm, no picture number 100 on DT

I am wondering why.

What's your guess?

You know you live in the right neighborhood/town/country when you pull the curtains in the morning, and you see a little rabbit in the backyard, nonchalantly taking his/her breakfast on the patch of clover that invaded a corner of your lawn.

I managed to overcome my urge to run for the camera (low light, the previous batch of “rabbit in my backyard” still on my computer instead of DT, camera in the basement, etc.) and just sat there watching for a few seconds.

Do you have stories of wild life from your backyard into your portfolio?

P.S. Obviously, the one in the image is some ancestor of the one seen this morning.

What is your experience with images that are rejected on one site but accepted on another?

Do you try to fix the "issue" that got it rejected and re-submit, or you just move on?
