Hvitträsk #2
Hvitträsk was designed to be a studio home for the members of the Finnish architecture firm Gesellius, Lindgren, and Saarinen. It later became the private residence of Eliel Saarinen. It is located about 30 kilometers (19 mi) west of Helsinki in Kirkkonummi, Finland. These photos are from the grounds of Hvitträsk and the lake was now white 🙂
.[H]vitträsk literally means White Lake

Beautiful details of nature
Foggy Friday
I was driving in the countryside and once again stopped at this lake in Vols as I’ve done many times before, it looked different as the fog was there to do its magic. This Foggy Friday looks good in pictures.
Summer day
View from Porkkalanniemi

Sunny day
Walking past our local church, the winter sun beautifully set a the background for this old church in Kirkkonummi. This was a rare moments, we have not had many sunny days lately.

Skywatch Friday
Morning in Vols
Before my sculpture session yesterday, I took a walk through the lovely yellow-green colored lanes at Vols, The morning was nice and crisp, with sunshine. My “studio” is behind the trees, the big yellow building.
Rainy day at Humaljärvi
It was a rainy evening. I took these five photos of the rainy lake, Humaljärvi, when on my way to my painting lessons. That was enough, I was quite wet by then, but I found it to be beautiful in its gray tones so it was worth getting little wet. Linked to Wednesday around the world!!
Blue Moment
I took the just before 9 pm tonight, I think , I caught the blue moment by the lake. All photos can be enlarged by a click
Country road
I find these kind of roads and building very appealing.

Linlo, Kirkkonummi #3
On the other side of the island
Linlo Island, Kirkkonummi
I took a walk at this small island, Linlo, near by my home, it is so lovely there. I nearly got lost… Here are few shots from today from the first part of the walk.
Welcome to Wednesday around the world!!
I visited the local church…
When was the construction work actually started on the grey-granite church which now gives its profile to Kirkkonummi centre? Already in the 13th century or as late as in the 15th century? Experts still have varying opinions about the point of time. However, one thing is for certain: after the construction was started there has been additions to the church, and it has reached a magnificent cruciform shape and space for 550 people.

Weekend Reflections # 233
Crispy day with morning light
Weekly Photo Challenge: Let There Be Light!
November here in the north is mainly, grey, rainy, dull, dark so the topic Let there be light is on the top of everyone’s minds. We had this beautiful light this morning…these photos are taken at 10:30 and it looks like its ready to go down again…so you can understand the joy of seeing this light.
But also one uses these sources light to have a warm atmosphere during this season of darkness
