Very hot actually... I am very skeptical to make such a statement in North America, specifically Canada for fear of jinxing it. But today, it is a good statement. I love the heat the Sun leaves behind. The heat that stays after the Sun sets. The closest feeling is lying down on a bed of freshly hang-dried clothes!!! Today, reminded me of my childhood. My favourite used to be Amma's sarees. :) I just rolled and rolled in them until I felt all the heat. Not a thing escaped. I tried! As the setting sun gave way to the gibbous moon, a breath of cool breeze whizzed by me. Something so far away can touch so deeply. Interesting!

Other than the flags, is there anything different in the L side of the photo vs the R side? When you look up from an airplane, doesn't it all seem to flow just fine? Unless humans distort the land, the land seems just fine. There have been many a flight journey where I have wondered which country I am flying over now? They all look beautiful and in a rhythm and pattern. I have heard someone say that a few centuries ago, there weren't so many countries. There wasn't any need. Bringing order and nurturing the cultural aspects are necessary but it has gone overboard when people die holding their nations flag. When things we create go out of proportion, it seems our responsibility to put things back in perspective.  It is a beautiful feeling to look down the window of an airplane and wonder at the power, benevolence and magnitude of Nature.  As this video mentions, we need Nature. Its not the other way around. About time we realize our spot in Spa...
