The landscape is black and white—the light lacks the tone of the day, and the shadows are unnaturally long. I think I see movement somewhere further, just as if someone were skiing there. Or is it a movement added by my imagination because Jaakko says nothing. There is a circle around the moon, which I know is a sign that we need to act fast. This is the first and probably the only moment we will have if we want to ski in the moonlight. Now I finally see the landscape my dad once talked to me about.
