What struck me most was the sky. On that side of the world, so far away from the North Pole, the sky is flat and gray, a one-dimensional universe.

Finnish skies are the reason I believe in God.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "James Thompson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/james-thompson/years-ago-when-i-was-working-on-my-master-s-thesis-i-went-to-new-york/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4a5/james-thompson-60183_astronomy_years-ago-when-i-was-working-on-my-maste_1200898.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4a5/james-thompson-60183_astronomy_years-ago-when-i-was-working-on-my-maste_1200898.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4a5/james-thompson-60183_astronomy_years-ago-when-i-was-working-on-my-maste_1200898.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Years ago, when I was working on my master's thesis, I went to New York for a semester as an exchange…” — James Thompson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/fall-sky/james-thompson/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/fall-sky/james-thompson/", "name": "Fall Sky Quotes by James Thompson", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/fall-sky/james-thompson/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4a5/james-thompson-60183_astronomy_years-ago-when-i-was-working-on-my-maste_1200898.jpg" }, "description": "1 Fall Sky quotes by James Thompson.
