Urban pillow fight at the heart of downtown Toronto. Perspective encapsulates a pluralistic blend of individualities against a backdrop of soaring skyline, leaving room for viewer's imagination.

Reviewed
some past photos while doing a routine system check prior to
backing up my hard drive; a hunt for those lurky malware that bypassed
multiple
firewalls,
anti-spyware and anti-virus running
simultaneously, which are themselves resource hogging but
only being
the lesser of the evils; renewing my suspicion of
an anti-virus conspiracy. So anyway, here's a photo that
I
dug
up, an aerial taken
over the Alaska Range on my flight to here a year and a half ago. Long
journeys
are easily filled up with random thoughts to kill boredom, and while
this
shot
was taken just
minutes after the first light, I questioned whether in
actuality it was a
sunrise or a sunset. Our concept of time is filled with ambiguity in
our
effort to measure time linearly to help us make sense of the day.
So I
left Hong Kong for Toronto in the evening, and after about ten
hours of starring at the navigation info screen whist
flying over the Pacific in pitch darkness, a hint of light started to
trickle
into the cabin when we reached above the Alaskan skies; so for us on
the plane, it was morning. This scenario did not produce
uncertainty as we were
traveling eastwards with the earth's rotation so the sun was indeed
also rising in Alaska; though it's now obvious to point out that westbound
flights such as those from Hong Kong to London flying over the Middle East will create
such ambiguity in determining dawn and dusk.
The
mountain ranges and Alaskan glaciers were magnificent and could be
clearly seen at some 30,000 ft above sea level. I quickly got out of my seat with my camera. Most passengers were still
resting at the time so the only accessible window was at the
rear of the
cabin where there was a line to glimpse the outside. Without further boring you with my mediocre photograph, I recommend you to thoroughly explore Galen
Rowell's
Mountain Light for some real stuff.
