Grey sky

Southern Helsinki

The Sokos Torni Hotel has a lovely view of the city from the cafe on the top of the tower, but in winter the balcony is often closed due to winds, ice or both. So, I had to settle for a picture taken from the inside. You can see plague park and a few of the church steeples before it drops off into the vast white expanse of the Gulf of Finland. Snow on the rooftops and a low, flat and grey sky that looks close enough to touch.
