Itäväylä, 14:23

 
 

I have a task. I have to post a letter.

I have two choices: to walk to Alepa or to Teboil. The temperature hovers around minus nine, which could suggest ice. I opt for the flat route.

Walking along in the bright cold light, everything feels wintry in a good way. The light looks like the result of expert intervention. I can revel in this because I don’t expect to find myself here this time tomorrow.

Itäväylä has almost no traffic at all. As I wait at the lights I photograph the gas station.
