Valokuvatorstai – love

Omnia vincit Amor: et nos cedamus Amori.
Love conquers all, and so let us surrender ourselves to Love.

Listen to Sam Cook CUPID

Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover’s heart for me

Wednesday around the world!!

This was what I saw as I walked towards the tram after work.1-WP_000340 2-WP_000338

Sunset was nicely coloring the Helsinki Cathedral A distinctive landmark in the Helsinki cityscape, with its tall, green dome surrounded by four smaller domes, the building is in the neoclassical style. It was designed by Carl Ludvig Engel as the climax of his Senate Square layout: it is surrounded by other, smaller buildings designed by him.

Window art

Winter windows at our summer-house… nature made some beautiful art to our enjoyment. I see a forest in one…

Ice flowers in rapids

This sighting is rare – and beautiful .  I had to post few more photos of it

Weekly Photo Challenge: Juxtaposition

I had to look up this word – now I hope I have understood it. A juxtaposition is “the act of placing things side by side, especially for the purpose of comparison or contrast” — as in this shot. This shot is – old and new – different size and color .
