Gray Day - Viva La France Anyway

This ringed seal is ready for abroad adventure. This shop (or actually travel agency) window is the high light on my way to work. The seal is so cute because the people of the travel agency have made the little baret just to fit the little head and also custom made the newspaper it is carrying (while dreaming of a holiday in France). I'll be dreaming of it too soon if the weather doesn't change. I usually love the time before christmas alltough it's really dark, because the snow makes all seem bright. But now it's grey and there's no snow at all, only water and mist.
PS: ringed seals are very rare and this area is famous for having the last few in the precinct. Alltough they look like mother nature's giant sausages, they don't have any other natural enemies but humans. (Picture is from WWF/Jouni Koskela)
