Night view

Someone took Google maps and overlaid it on top of the 'Earth at night' shot, with fair results. Just for fun I decided to draw circles representing how far you'd get by car in 6 hours from Kingston Ontario (where I lived before moving to Calgary) and Calgary Alberta. The Calgary circle is the one on the left, for you geographically challenged folk. Gives you an idea (civilization-wise) how much was within a typical weekend drive's reach at either place. In Kingston - lots. In Calgary - whole lotta nuthin'. Unless you count Edmonton and nobody from 'round these parts counts Edmonton......

Click the picture for a slightly clearer view of the circles.
