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.
Wednesday , good evening from Helsinki. Grey, so grey and cold…but if you look beauty can be found in grey tones too.

A Romanian beggar sitting on the side of the road, unfortunately, a common sight in Helsinki today. this summer there were about 230 staying temporarily in Helsinki. I would not be able to endure this life.
An other one is just 20 meters away but he plays the accordion…
