Many thanks to Sarah for being such a creative host! Please have a look at her well thought out post about her chosen topic , to be honest I have not given triangles much thought, explore her gallery of stunning photographs — you’ll be so glad you did, you will be inspired.
I was sure I would not find any, but I went to the harbour In Kivenlahti yesterday, and what do I see… triangles. Did my subconscious take me there as I wondered if I would find anything for this? Or Church in Porvoo… few days ago.
Sailboats rest in a harbor beneath dramatic, layered clouds in striking black and white.

Brian asked for boats for Monochrome Madness: Boats, and here are some I found in my archives. Most of them are from Sri Lanka, taken during our visit many years ago. I still remember the quiet harbours, the worn wooden hulls pulled up on the sand, and the small fishing boats gently rocking on the water. The details of those days have faded a little, but the feel of the place and the rhythm of the sea have stayed with me, and these boats bring those memories back. Perhaps their boats are in better shape these days; I would love to revisit and see how things have changed. The last one is from Finland, and the two images above from Thailand.
You can link your own boat images to Brian’s post or to the Monochrome Madness main page if you would like to join in.

Visited on of Helsinki’s most popular tourist attractions today. It has been years since I was here. The place has history Suomenlinna (Finnish; until 1918 Viapori), or Sveaborg , literal translation in Finnish is Castle of Finland inhabited sea fortress built on six islands and which now forms part of the city of Helsinki. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and also it as a picturesque picnic site. Originally named Sveaborg. The Swedish crown commenced the construction of the fortress in 1748 as protection against the Russian expansionism. This particular day it was packed with locals as well as tourist as the day was just lovely. Here is some background on the place.
We also visited St Kilda Pier it’s history dates back to 1853. Providing panoramic views of the Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, the pier is a popular destination. I liked how I was able to capture the skyline behind the sailboats at the pier. The opportunity to see a penguin in it’s natural habit at a place like this was something unexpected.
I have thousands of pictures like most of us, but it was kind of hard to find silhouettes from them. And if I was smart I would only post one, but as I did find few – I am going to share more that a few ( I know its three) So I’ll have few titles – people, boats, trees
