There was a break in the clouds and the sun transformed the highway into a river of gold.

I spent my lunch hour trying to capture the effect.

This is a view from the city of Espoo towards Helsinki. The little peaks you can just barely make out behind the bay are in downtown Helsinki. In the summer I come to work by bicycle, on a bike path running in the woods on the right side of the highway, over a series of little islands.
