There is a lot going on outside my window. I’m so lucky with the view…I keep thinking of those who are not. Who’s got all sorts of uninspiring views to look at during office hours…and I keep thinking how lucky I am…and then – again – about those less fortunate…then – my own luck again…so there - I’m one lucky girl with a view from her office window, that might turn someone’s green with envy…
Although my office is in industrial estate, but it’s on the very edge of it and from the one side of the building we’ve got a river and a fields of grasses on the other side of her…
Today we have a sunny day. Almost as sunny as summertime… or shall I say “the summertime here is as sunny as it can be in February”? Sunny day, anyway. Chilly wind, but here, behind the office walls the wind feels not that bad, as outside…so, as I’ve said already, it is a sunny day…I’m looking outside my window as I’m typing about beautiful day, and suddenly I’ve noticed a boat on the river…you don’t get to see this in summer, as the old trees hide that part of the river from me. But today is only February and the trees are still embarrassing naked, in see-through. So the boat appeared as of a sudden from nowhere. And of course there is a somewhere from where she would appear, but it was like from nowhere…she was like one of those boats from the pictures. Kid’s drawings. Too big and out of proportions. The river looked too small, the boat – too big. I would even suspect that someone’s played a practical joke on me, moving the boat-shaped carton in front of my window (so unnaturally everything was laid out on this picture) but who might’ve wish to do such thing for the window on the second floor?! And just while I was watching the gigantic boat sailing a tiny river, there was an airplane flying right above her as well. And we do have a pilot training airfield nearby too. So we are used to the views of low-flying airplanes here. And I mean – a real sized, passenger’s planes, not the toy models. Now, let’s assemble the whole picture: a huge boat, a tiny river and a big airplane, all in the frame of my window in a shining sunlight and with the light-brownish background of transparent trees. It is difficult to “tell” the picture. But believe me, it was an unusual masterpiece. It was strongly childish style, everything out of proportions and all the colours were wrong because of the sun light getting right through everything, slightly shifting the gamma along the brighter side. It was pretty.
