The Sky and the Mountains in Calgary
Have you ever mentioned that the sky in Calgary each day is different. Though the coulors does not vary so much, but there are enormous amount of shades. And the mountains changes every day, they are not similar. The sky and the mountains live their own live and the city of Calgary does not prevent you from of observing them. On the contrary, in Moscow city dominates: sometimes you could even pay no attention to the sky, you dont see it ( in Calgary it is impossible). I've noticed that in Calgary people usually live in very comfortable but modest houses, in Moscow, especially in the Moscow region they usually built "palaces"which hide the sky.( Unfortunately there are no mountains in Moscow.) Maybe calgarians better than we, moscovites, understand that it is imposible to compete with the beauty of nature; and they dont compete and let us all enjoy the veiw?

Have you ever heard what Calgurians say? they say: " wait for 5 minutes and the weather will change in Calgary"
I could understand nothing about the comparison between houses here and in Moscow, and unfortunatly I have no time to re-read because I want to move on and give comments on someone else's blog
I've always been amazed by the sky is Alberta. Especially driving up highway 2 to Edmonton. It's overwhelming. Or the nigh sky in winter with the northern lights . . . it makes you feel kind of small.
The condition is worse in Beijing city. There are a great deal of mountains around Beijing, but the high buildings prevent residents watching these beautiful mountains. Similar to you, I like the sky and mountains in Calgary.
Your blog is awesome; you have poetic mode. If you wrote it as a poem, it would have been more attractive. It gives a special art to your thoughts.
