I chose these photos because I liked the looks of these books as they are, old hardcover books are so beutifully binded.They are also well read and that is the so important in a book… I thought they would look good also in BW. Hope you agree.

I visited the small town of Billnäs last weekend such a pictureque place. These pictures are details of one of the mills machines.
Carl Billsten founded Billnäs ironworks in 1641. In Billnäs many buildings remain from the end of the 18thcentury. Nowadays, Billnäs is known for the world-famous orange-handled scissors made by Fiskars Oy, the knife and tools manufacturer.
Billnäs has become an important centre for building renovation in Finland thanks to “Byggnadsapoteket” (the house repairing consultants) who also run courses in-house restoration. The ironworks area has a gardening history dating back more than 350 years, and the oldest plant nursery in Finland.
Billsten`s period (1641-1723)The location of Ironworks was good – In Billnäs the River Mustio has a large precipice so there was no need for larger weir. Also the transport connections from sea and land were good. Alike the needed expendable wood was received from the forests in the surroundings of Billnäs.

These are taken from The Towers Square in Tallinn. All Photos can be enlarged by a click.
Built up from the 13th to 16th centuries, when Tallinn – or Reval as it was known then – was a thriving member of the Hanseatic trade league, this enclosed neighbourhood of colourful, gabled houses, half-hidden courtyards and grandiose churches is, quite rightly, the city’s biggest tourist draw. And the fact that it’s all neatly packaged within a mostly intact city wall and dotted with guard towers gives it an extra dose of fairytale charm.

This is my week 15 submission to the Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky.
I saw this field sawmill beside a country road, as we were searching for old lumber, as always, I had to take photos. My first thought was that these would look good in black and white. Do you agree?
This is my week 14 submission to the Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky. I took these to photograph something grey, but these also looked good in Black and White. So this and the fact that I have no access to my photo achieves at the moment are the reason for these photos. I was lazy, did not even clean the dust of them…
