Afternoon at Liuskasaari

We stopped to have coffee at Pop up Kahvila Liuskasaari. If you visit the island be sure to pop there. Nice and friendly service and the pancakes and coffee were delicious.

WPC PHOTO CHALLENGE – Earth

Lion

I’m getting into the groove with my digital art, this being one of them. It is inspired by African art and I have used one of my previous works as a base. Recycling my own work

Continuing my African art theme here is one more variation. All these are something that opens up more the further away you look at them. The distance reveals so hidden content. Hope you enjoy this.

MY CAT

I was taking Minimalist photos and my beautiful Veikka cat came to pose for me. Four slightly different edits…all create a new look for the photo or not 🙂 Are these photos minimalist, what do you think?

Monochrome Madness 3-51 – Helsinki City Hall

IMG_4096-2

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.

April

We spent a day at our summer housecleaning after winter. I have to admit the first time you go there in spring time it is always a bit disappointing as everything is brown, and gray. No leaves on the trees. Hopefully in a months time it will be something different again.

Helsinki our capital is such a beautiful city, that is my opinion 🙂 I took these pictures when walking to the train after a meeting…mobile phones do have good cameras now days

Monochrome Madness 3-50 -Culture

 

Misty afternoon (14)

This week the theme is Culture  challenge Monochrome Madness 3-50. In Finland we have a strong culture of spending time in the nature. Walking in the woods, staying at summer cottages nestled  by the lakes and forests. We find comfort and peace in nature, the silence,clean air.

Emotion

I reworked on this piece of mine I did after the terrorist attack in France, as it expresses how I feel about what’s going in the world at the moment. Don’t people learn anything from the history. The world has turned upside down, I am so sad and frustrated about what is happening in the world today… that is what this post is about.
