Anyway, my good friend and his lady love were due to fly to Norway on Friday-Mother Nature had other plans. Instead we all went to Greenwich and had a fun day out in the Sun. During a bit of respite from the fun we stood in awe at the view that was painted before us.
Now, my friend and I love skylines and London's is one of the most serene. As we looked on and cogitated on our aspirations and expectations of life I said something along the lines of the following:
"Dude, just look at that sky. There's not a single plane in the sky on this clearest of days; it's a bird's playground. It's humbling that one act of nature can cripple an entire infrasturcture. I think Earth deserves this and we shold enjoy it."
That's not exactly what I said but the thougths were all there. Honestly, I could care less about the stranded passengers and their plight. However, my heart goes out to those who were injured/lost homes/lost their lives because of the volcano. More importantly, we should not take this little gift nature has given us for granted. Actually, there is an article on GIZMODO which shows that 206, 465 tons of CO2 were saved as a result of the cancelled flights (http://xr.com/nx58) . Laugh it up Earth, you desrve it. For now enjoy this picture my friend snapped:
