Wednesday around the world – Vääksy

I visited as small town of Vääksy. The main attraction there is Vääksy channel or also known as Vesijärvenkatu channel, it is located in Asikkala. The channel that connects the Vesijärvi lake to Päijänne lake. The Vääksy channel is currently Finland’s busiest boating channel.The channel has only one seal. The water surface height difference of about three meters. The channel is surrounded by the town of Vääksy.

The main photo is the bird pic, as I hardly ever am able get photos of them or presentable pics at l east.

Relic

Photography

The Raseborg castle ruins

The Raseborg castle ruins, situated on a rock by Raseborg stream, are the remainders of a castle that was probably built in the 14th century, when the rock was still surrounded by water. Raseborg is officially mentioned for the first time in a letter dated 1378. It is a typical medieval castle of a simpler kind that has been constructed during a long time period. There is no other similar castle in Finland.

Monochrome Madness (20) – Books

Black and White photos, Photography

One of these photos is my submission to week 20 to the Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky.

I chose these photos because I liked the looks of these books as they are, old hardcover books are so beutifully binded.They are also well read and that is the so important in a book… I thought they would look good also in BW. Hope you agree.

All details can be seen better by clicking at an image to enlarge them.
