That shot with the burbs in the background -- is it taken from the top of the Olympic Games facilities, TJ?

I lived through half a winter in Alberta -- the first time I have ever experienced -40 degrees C, and the first time I have done a century under 0 deg C just about all the way. The first time I have ever seen a frozen waterfall, too!

When I returned to Australia from that trip, I went from around -40 deg to +40 deg when I got off the aircraft in Melbourne. Needless to say, I remained in the airport enjoying the air conditioning for a long time before I braved the heat and wind outside.
