Sydney~8~Skyline

This is my last post about Sydney at this point. City skyline is the theme here. The day shots are taken on the Ferry to Manly.

Sydney~6~Opera House

I am still in the city of Sydney. the Sydney Opera House looked better in my opinion in the dark with lights on. Oddly enough I was not the only one taking photos of it 🙂 I tried to find different angles when taking the photos.

I like the shots with the boats best… Obviously the top one with the sail boat is my favorite.

Sydney~4~The Bridge

We saw the Sydney Bridge during day and during night time. Near and far here are the some of the day shots.

Sydney ~2

We were rather tired the first day so we walked a bit, some street shots of Sydney few days before Xmas. Our first day and it was raining.

Sydney ~1

We were greeted in Sydney with this happy dude called Doug and  kids of Leo entertaining the crowd by singing. So here are few street photos from George street. I was sitting on a bench as this little kid slept in his dads arms while mom was doing Xmas shopping. The pretty lady across the street just caught my eye.

Australia

We made it here, days have been so busy and long that the idea of doing a post did not even cross my mind. Here are some shots . I will be posting better quality photos when I m back home. here are few shots from Sydney

Hong Kong day two

My feet are killing me. We have used the tram, ferry, underground and a taxi and walked around the city. All photos with the mobile phone.

How to survive November~28

I have to admit, I have been busy at work, so the idea of sitting down and opening the computer again has been rather hard, so here I am catching up. I have taken photos daily, most of them crappy. That is why I am not going to post them,  I will cheat a bit. I will post some more from the circus as it was inspiring and it certainly helped the survival of this month.

Pets, big or small to give you affection. Odin came on my lap to have a nap at my friends party. I got to enjoy some views from the 16th floor and nice beverages during the evening… no complaining on this November night

 

How to survive November ~6

Yesterday I jumped a day, today I went for moment of relaxation- a massage for my tense shoulders. On the way I spotted a one rose and rose hip.

How to survive November ~5

On way to survive is to listen to music. I took these photos of Michael Monroe performing at a work event I attended. Quality is not that great, but then again we are talking and taking photos of surviving darkness.48948483-620b-40a8-a6d8-e6a7422d8e76-1

 

 

 

 

How to survive November 2018~3

It is that time of the year again that survival is definitely on my mind. The all consuming darkness drains me. I will survive, I will drive into the mist and disappear….

How to survive November 2018~1

It is that time of the year again that survival is definitely on my mind. The all consuming darkness drains me. I will survive, I have sunshine on the horizon in December. Most likely most of my photos will be by my mobile as the darkness does not really invite you to take photos unless you are in a city. I do not often go to Helsinki, but the day we got the first snow, not officially, it melted ½ hour before it could have been mentioned as first snow. I saw it and for me it was the first snow of the season. I have to admit I was not thrilled about it.  Helsinki railway station in the evening is what I will share as my first post for November.

Abandoned~3

This has once been a great and huge shed. Even the ruins in the condition they are in at the moment are impressive,  at least to me.   After marveling it from the ceiling  I walked inside and what did I see, have a look at the large perspective, details will follow.

 

 

Autumn Vibes ~20

A slightly cloudy and calm afternoon by a lake in Lahti, just a small peek of the sun reflects on the lake.  What a lovely sight, sure to give you good autumn vibes 🙂

Abandoned~2

This has once been a great and huge shed. Even the ruins in the condition they are in at the moment are impressive,  at least to me.   After marveling it from the ground I walked up to the second floor… no ceiling left, but you can see how huge it has been.

 

Autumn Vibes ~19

A slightly cloudy and calm afternoon by a lake in Lahti, The houses near the shore reflected beautifully on the water. What a lovely sight, sure to give you good autumn vibes 🙂

Abandoned~1

I saw and photographed a burnt cow shed last week as I was looking to capture the beautiful fall we are experiencing this year. This has once been a great and huge shed. Even the ruins in the condition they are impressive at least to me. I will be posting shots of this place between my Autumn Vibes photos.                                                                            I would appreciate your feed back if you also find this ugliness appealing, at least in photos?
