Stormy and cold like my insides, with little rays of light peaking through.

I spend last weekend in Helsinki, went for the Finnish National Ballet to see the Nutcracker, wonderful! I also had some time to venture outside and me being me, I avoided the city center.

I took my camera with me and headed down to the sea to see if there was anything worth photographing. It was about 3 degrees Celsius (37 in Fahrenheit) but very windy, so the air was hurting me like crazy. I saw some light coming through the clouds and walked a little bridge from the shore to a tiny island called Uunisaari. As soon as I saw that Jesus light (angel rays, God light) behind another island and the waves hitting hard on the shore, I knew I hit the jackpot. I spend almost an hour on the island, just in awe of the amazing beauty nature was giving that morning. By the end of it, I couldn't feel my face or my fingers, but I think it was SO WORTH IT!

What do you think?
