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.
This weeks entry to LEANNE COLE Photography 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.
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
I edited the originals a bit and also used cream tones in the other set, for some reason those appeal to me more. We’ve had some snowfall today, winter is back. Unfortunately so are the low temperatures too.
Just before sunset, blue…cold, winter is slowly arriving
These photo’s are from the open-air museum of Seurasaari, it is located on a beautiful green island just a few kilometres from the heart of Helsinki. The island is a tranquil oasis in the midst of the city and at the museum the traditional Finnish way of life is displayed in the cottages, farmsteads and manors of the past four centuries that have been relocated from all around Finland.

I spent a beautiful afternoon in Hernesaari, Helsinki as sailboat sailed in to the fog. The fog came and went so quickly. It was so lovely to watch as the shades of blue changed and softened and sharpened again.
Had to get out of the house, everything is grey and wet. Went to a cafe to find reflections..

Yesterday we saw also other colors than blue, grey and white in various tones. A small orange light around midday was to give hope of better. These still mostly are the blue grey tones, also very beautiful, absolutely, but at this point in the winter a sunny day would be just awesome. Al photos can be enlarged by a click.
I like watching at windows, reflections on them, looking out from a window is also relaxing.
