Today at Helsinki

As I needed to run some errands in Helsinki, I did not take my camera with me, but I had my phone with me , the sidewalk looked so pretty as the flower arrangements on the lamp posts brightened the view.

Rutto puisto (Plague park)

The old church is surrounded by a graveyard, they buried victims of the plague epidemic in 1710, that is the origin of the name Ruttopuisto (Plague Park), the 48 remaining grave stones are from 1790-1829.

This is a very popular park for picnics due to its location in the center of Helsinki.

MakroTex – Sight (näkö)

Makrotex asked to photograph sight (näkö) a touch one. I see the world through these eyes, my eyesight is getting worse all the time, so my art and paintings are becoming more impressionist as time goes by or abstract. My photos I try to keep sharp and focused.

the color is PINK, I have tons of photos of pink flowers, but I thought I would try something different. I love pink lipsticks, here a few from my vast collection.

 

All photos can be enlarged by a click if you wish to see the different shades of pink 🙂

Wood works

Don’t know if you call this bonfire or campfire, but burning sticks and  brushwood whilst cleaning the woods behind our house.
