What lies beneath

The sun is shining bright, and the clouds are low beneath us, it looks like a scene from a movie when a person awakes in heaven, completely white and bright with nothing or nobody in sight. The clouds look like a thick blanket. But then as we descend through the clouds it's like we are stuck in suffocating fog. I don't understand how they know how to find their way to the safe terrain, it's so dark and grey. Whereas before we were blinded by the gleaming brightness of the sun, now we have lost our sight in the unknown darkness of the clouds.

Suddenly the city appears, yet there is still little light and the darkness from the grey clouds shows no signs of letting any of the brightness through. It's completely opposite to what I had seen in the clouds above. To the people below in this city they would be completely unaware of the overwhelming clearness above those clouds which are isolating their city from what lies above.

Yet although the greyness is trying to take over the city, it fails to make it dull. I still feel the excitement and beauty waiting to be explored once I take my first footsteps on this new land, for I have arrived in Copenhagen...
