This weeks entry to    Monochrome Madness 3-51 challenge is a view to Helsinki City Hall , it is a central administrative building of Helsinki.   The city hall is located  next to Market Square at the moment rather quiet, but as summer comes it will be fill of orange tents.

I find gerbera to be a stylish and simple flower, I spent few moments taking photos from different angles and them trying to edit them into “Artistic”monochrome pictures.

MM 3-31

I have been very, very lazy in participating  in Monochrome Madness and as the photos there are always so gorgeous, I am also very disappointed of my laziness. This week , well, here is my post for the challenge. I visited French Riviera early October and this is taken at there.
