Coastline

Following the coastline, Sigvalde Viking will soon begin its descent into Umeå where the quicksilver is expected to drop to -16 degrees tonight. In my book, it is the mid-70’s and the Direct-Orient Express has just arrived at the Sirkeči Station in Istanbul.

While the sky may be the same, it is still slightly bewildering how time can turn all certainties upside down, starting with the basic fact that north is now south. At least I was able to steer clear of the mirror universe this year.
