Arrived back in Canada tonight. An amazing sunset welcomed me as I arrived in Edmonton. This is one of the shots that I shot as the plane descended from above the clouds. In a weird way the look of the sky and clouds reminded me of the scene from WAR OF THE WORLDS (that I saw just last week in Washington DC with Joe & Tony) where the aliens are arriving on earth amidst a vivid storm of whirling clouds. Which, if you think about it, is a pretty apropos parallel for my arrival in Edmonton -- truly a "war of the worlds" for me going from the chaotic frenetic pace of NYC to the very quiet, predictable and conservative life here in the northern outpost of Alberta. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike. It does put the yin back with the yang so that my life is more balanced. Plus I was more than happy to escape the stifling summer heat of NYC, especially after hauling suitcases in 95F on the bus to LaGuardia airport.
