Cinematic Moment

This afternoon I saw Tron: Legacy downtown at the Scotiabank Theatre. I loved the movie, but that's not what I'm writing about. Right after, I stopped and looked out the nearest window. The sun was out, for the first time in over a week - it wasn't when the movie started - and right there was the Shangri-La tower, which served as Encom's headquarters in the movie. I could even see the crane at the top that Sam Flynn was standing on minutes before.

Walking around downtown, seeing the sun glinting off all the glass, the snowy mountains in the background, it was intoxicating. Yes, we whine and moan about the insane real estate prices, the lack of community, the weather, but my god, this place can be beautiful.
