So I wasn't the only one that noticed that it's actually seriously warm outside.
Cloudmountainbank: Cool.
College Park sky does some quite amazing things too, things I'd never seen in Ankara. For a while, I thought that the sky seems bigger to me here. Maybe because there are no mountains in my horizon, or maybe because I don't have a horizon where I usually am, on campus. Bilkent campus was on a hill, out of town, and it did have a very distant horizon... if it was clear enough to see.
I know some places are described as having a "big sky", and have noticed that feeling myself, but I've never gotten around to checking whether it's merely angle-of-view or something more subtle or complicated than that.
I don't remember the University of Dallas seeming to have a "bigger sky" than here, but we could see the far side of Fort Worth from the porch of the student union -- if a thunderstorm approached during dinner, suddenly there'd be a lot of people out there watching it. "It just hit the far side of Fort Worth." "I think that's the near side of Fort Worth." "It's caught the far side of Dallas." "Okay, it's just cleared the near edge of Dallas. That means we have just about enough time to walk unhurriedly to the dorms before we get wet."
