The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow (HDR)

I thought today called for something bright and sunny. First, because here in Kiev, we're in the middle of one of those gray periods that can last a month or more. And second, friends and family in the USA are about to get buried by another winter storm.

I know this is little comfort to most suffering through the current winter in the USA, but I do miss it sometimes. Here in Kiev, I'm further north than anywhere in the continental US, excluding Alaska, yet, in most winters here, we get 1/10 the amount of snow one might get in New Jersey. And I do miss that sometimes. There is something so exhilarating about the raw power of nature, and just having everything shut down for a day or three and staying at home and watching the whole spectacle unfold. OK, I know what you're saying. I'm just getting plain delusional now. :-)
