The way artists can look at a scene in many different lights is very similar to what Earle Birney did when he wrote "January Morning/Downtown Vancouver" and "Vancouver Lights".

This myth I would definitely call a world class example. It is a unique myth mostly because it is always a little bit different. It is very well organized and has a good morale. It does not go
