City Sky

The sky disappears in the city.

With each new tower the sense of wide open space, freedom and a connection with nature - the clouds, the wind, the sun, the birds, dies a little.

When I was younger the looming towers and bustling people and honking cars excited me with possibility. I still sometimes feel like that especially in the fall when winter starts to bite and the energy revs up.

Today I felt hemmed in, having to negotiate a paltry 2 weeks vacation and time off over Christmas. Sigh.

I regained some peace and joy taking pictures like this one and cuddling with my husband watching a movie on TV. (Up in the Air with George Clooney - a good one).
