crystal clear

the Kansas City skyline taken from the Liberty Memorial

on a very cold, blustery day in December

this picture doesn't actually demonstrate what I was going to write about today

but am so blown away by this skyline

growing up all the way over in the suburbs, I hardly ever saw this view

the buildings and projects that have been added through the years have really

made this view so interesting - a nice mix of old and new

am so happy they have been able to keep that Western Auto sign up too 

the one thing that surprises me almost every morning

and throughout the day

is the clarity of the air here

after spending years with the grey skies of England

the intense blue of the sky here, along with the sunshine that has been present 

almost every day since I moved back

makes the trees, the grass......everything

so crystal clear

it can (and has been) bitterly cold - but then that sunshine 

comes out - and kicks everything up a notch

this clarity, the 'big sky' and the sunshine also make for 

the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets

such pinks and blues!

I just need to get myself outside and take a few photos of this to show you

really is beautiful

thanks for stopping by!
