The View From Our Front Door






















This is the view from the front door of our building. Every morning when I step out I look down to see how the sea and the mountains are looking today. They have different colours every day and they change feeling even during an hour while I go jogging or to the grocery store.

Sometimes the sea is silvery light blue and the mountains are beige and the clouds in the sky are purple and the sky is clear blue. And sometimes the mountains are yellow and reflected on the sea and the sky is light pink. And sometimes everything is the same strong transparent blue but in quite different qualities.

And sometimes the sea is stormy green and the mountains are deep blue and the sky is dark and grey above them. And sometimes you can see the shores on the other side glowing in almost golden ocra. And sometimes there are white seagulls flying and sometimes there are black birds swimming in the sea.

And sometimes the clouds sit like hats on top of the mountains and sometimes the mountaintops are white with new snow that always melts for the next day. And sometimes there is a rainbow that starts from the small island in front of the beach and while you run along the beach it streches all the way back to the root of the mountains.

Hi Saara, So nice to hear from you.. and nice to read about your life post-Ann Arbor. It sounds really great wherever you are (Iceland? Finland?). Except for the burning garbage outside my bedroom window, it's pretty nice here too.

Jep. Confusing? I'm currently in Iceland and so this is the view from our Reykjavík front door... :) Our Helsinki front door isn't really interesting at all.

Burning garbage? I hope your bed clothes aren't catching fire?
