ULog #5: The Multi-colored Landscape

         Even when I am not in the best of moods, I can still appreciate my surroundings. Sometimes, being able to enjoy the view clams an otherwise stressful existence. The demands of modern-day life seem to consume our bodies and souls, and everything appears to be on rinse and repeat with no end in sight.

         One thing I love about living in the valley near the mountains is that I get to witness several seasons in one glance. It is not uncommon to see snow at the top of the mountain; even in the summer. You see the contrast between the greens and the barren landscape due to altitude.

         Similarly, it is also not uncommon to be situated at the edge of two distinct weather patterns. During the summer, torrential rains could be falling out of the sky while the sun continues its relentless scorching. It is one of those times when you actually feel humidity 4500ft (1372m) above sea level.

         Another weather-related scene I do not have a current photo for is the transition in and out of winter. Often, there would be mornings where several inches of snow had fell overnight. These snow, then, would melt by the end of the afternoon on the same day.

         Since I work graveyard shifts every other week, I always embrace the opportunity to see a sunrise. Well, maybe not as glamourous as seeing it from a peak, but I certainly appreciate seeing the light show near the end of my shift.

         I have been brainstorming for new topics to write about. I think I may have them. I am still debating whether or not I should link up my #Ulog posts so I could compile a collection like I do with Abuse Series. Another possible series I want to author could be about games, comics, etc. that are in my collection.

         A more ambitious project I want to tackle is something similar to curator on Valve's Steam platform, which publishes game reviews, but I want mine to have a distinct twist in that it will be completely off the mark, but technically true for the product I'm featuring.

So many ideas, so little time.
