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.

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 .

There are paths in the woods to walk at, roads that have been cleaned, and ice that has been opened to create open paths for boats and ships. Snow and ice everywhere – winter

Wednesday around the World – hair

It was a cold day here in Finland, but I had to step outside in spite of it. ( Kirkkonummi today, kind a cold. No wish to go out, but … I have to.
Clear skies: -14C Temperature+ windfactor: -23C Sunrise at: 08:58 Sun down: 16:09)

As you know ladies these are the big decisions, I had my hair done today. Last time I went back to being more blond , well now I took the opposite direction.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Found In Nature

as I am nearsighted, I rarely see bugs, and I usually do not have the patience to photograph birds…at least small ones. These I found ( read saw….) in the nature.

MakroTex – Fork – Haarukka

To photograph a fork – and try to make it look good or even interesting, that was the challenge for me. Here are my attempts to make art of forks – what do you think of the outcome?

I also found this old mickey mouse fork – first I had to try to clean it,  not so successfully, but at least I could see the Mickey Mouse
