Q: so how did you like the Alps?

A: I don't know, couldn't see a thing, the mountains were blocking the view all the time.

A: I don't know, couldn't see a thing, the buildings were blocking the view all the time.


>I have spent quite a bit of time working in Denver and California and the view of mountains never even started to get old. My second long stint in Denver (several months) the client rented me an apartment in Englewood, a south suburb, and the commute to work was north on I-225 and then west on I-70, straight at the Rockies. Spectacular! It sure took the edge off going into the office in the morning.

I only visited the airport there a few times, and basically got my nose glued to the window for most of it - the view from above is fascinating. Can't imagine how it would look from the ground, must be magnificent.

BTW, east of Denver I saw many fields which looked like a circle in a square. The circle would have one color, the rest of the square another. I even took some pictures of that, just to make sure I didn't invent them... but still have no clue as to why would anyone tile the soil in circles. Maybe you heard from the natives?
