    I miss it. I used to walk this route (more or less) daily from 2008-2016 before and after work. Our office moved after that, but I still did walk it maybe once every other week up until when the lockdown in March 2020.
    I think I saw a drone video at the beginnng of the pandemic where the streets were totally empty. Nice to see some life to it again. Thanks for the video.

Would not mind watching you having dinner on the patio somewhere - interesting perspective ..

    Johnny, thanks for making the videos on osmo pocket series. Did you ever update the pocket 2 to firmware 1.03.00.10 which was an update for low temperature focus correction? If yes, how did it behave after the update? One more question. Did you try using quality mode in d cinelike at night low light on street? If yes, did you get the blurry stretchy footage/ghosting effect. What is your views on it?
    Thanks again. Waiting for your response.

    What would your opinion be on that. What would your suggestions be for visiting Toronto for a visit time visitor. I would seriously consider visiting Toronto over new York London or Paris because those cities are just too overwhelming.
