What can I say, November can look good if you make the effort to be in the nature at the right time, pay attention to color contrasts and details like rocks on the ground or drift wood. If you just look at it – it’s OK, but the wind factor makes the weather very harsh.
Sunday morning and day was no surprise to me it was grey and rainy again. In the afternoon there was a hint of light just before it set. We drove to Helsinki and on our way back 16:30 it was dark again. The joys of light.
Saturday morning surprised me with sunshine as I walked to get the morning paper from the mail box. Happy, happy 😃 
Wow,half way into November, this morning was so dark and the ground was covered in black ice, but fortunately I just had to walk to my car – less than 50 meters so I did not fall down. Later the day this wonderful thing called sun made it’s appearance too. I am counting the days as it is not that common to have that many sunny days at this time it of the year. That is not a fact statement, more like my own observation. I work full time so I have to take photos near our office. All around us, there are construction site’s and high cranes so those are my spotting’s for today
Walking back to the office from lunch I had to photograph this wonder once again (sun).
Yesterdays sunshine turned to rain, me and a huge amount of others went to the mall to escape the rain…these are taken on the way home. Quite notable is that this is also taken little after 3 PM… what a difference a day makes.
I was coming to the parking garage from grocery shopping to see sunshine and rain in November 
the afternoon. It was just after 3 PM and the sun was already going down.
Construction site
I visited British Columbia year and half ago, while driving in the coutryside I walked into this abandoned farm house. I think these are documentary photos. I find it odd in away that such decay transforms into rather interesting photographs, what do you think. Have I been able to capture the decay and odd beauty into these shots?

Vitamins and color therapy in one post. It is a grey rainy day and I was looking for color to cheer me up. Here are some old and new photos of fruits and vegetables to brighten and hopefully boost your energy level today as well as mine.
Sometimes you take photos as mundane as pics from the grocery store. What can I say, no logic, no reason, just because…
On My way to work
Old office at Strömfors Ruukki, I love these old buildings, the atmosphere in them. The textures and tones in the spaces.
Gateway in Loviisa, Finland the old part of it.
Unfortunately the photos have the window reflections on the, but Helsinki is rather beautiful city, mixture of old and new. I took these from the 16th floor at Clarion Hotel in Helsinki-
Walking in Helsinki in Jätkäsaari, around the new Clarion Hotel, you can see beautiful reflections and from the glass structures. The ship yards on one side, cruise ships being built and on the other side you can see ships that take you to Tallinn.
WPC PHOTO CHALLENGE theme this week is Heritage. I visited Cyprus few years back, at At the Tombs of the Kings (Pathos) you could feel the history the heritage. The underground tombs, many of which date back to the 4th century BC, are carved out of solid rock, and are thought to have been the burial sites of Paphitic aristocrats and high officials up to the third century AD.
This week I have picked a street photograph, a coffee moment outside. A man, obviously enjoying a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper. This is my pick for Monochrome Madness this week. The original is included for comparison.
Street photography at Kapteeninkatu in Helsinki. The Finnish flag was Half-mast for our former President Mauno Koivisto who had passed away the day before. I have photos in color and Monochrome, for some reason they appeal to me in street photography. What your opinion about it?
The theme is movement or moving, here is my interpretation for Monochrome Madness this week.
PHOTO CHALLENGE Danger!
