Well, I've lived in Salt Lake City now for about 13 years (hard to
believe) - kinda the opposite effect for me. When I moved here, the
mountains were fairly surreal, but now when I travel to places without
mountains, I get my directions all mixed up and the plains look extremely
unnatural.
It's actually a bit disorienting, but I think that's more about having
lost a landmark that I'm used to seeing. Except that when the cloud
cover is so bad (or the inversion's in place) that I can't see the
mountains here - that's not a problem for me. *That's* weird, though.
Jim
