Perspective:

A while back, my neighbor and I were BMXing around. One of these noisy buggers flew overhead and I groaned how living so close to the AirStation, I can never escape work - through the sheer volume of the aircraft. He didn't let me get too much more out as he, at the time, hated his office-occupying job.

Excellent perspective; I love my job and it's different every day. This picture, this is my office and I have no complaints.

You get the gold star if you can name this city.
