  • CONTEXT: The surroundings, circumstances, environment, background or settings that determine, specify, or clarify the meaning of an event or other occurrence

Wednesday around the world!!

This was what I saw as I walked towards the tram after work.1-WP_000340 2-WP_000338

Sunset was nicely coloring the Helsinki Cathedral A distinctive landmark in the Helsinki cityscape, with its tall, green dome surrounded by four smaller domes, the building is in the neoclassical style. It was designed by Carl Ludvig Engel as the climax of his Senate Square layout: it is surrounded by other, smaller buildings designed by him.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Juxtaposition

I had to look up this word – now I hope I have understood it. A juxtaposition is “the act of placing things side by side, especially for the purpose of comparison or contrast” — as in this shot. This shot is – old and new – different size and color .

Wednesday around the World – hair

It was a cold day here in Finland, but I had to step outside in spite of it. ( Kirkkonummi today, kind a cold. No wish to go out, but … I have to.
Clear skies: -14C Temperature+ windfactor: -23C Sunrise at: 08:58 Sun down: 16:09)

As you know ladies these are the big decisions, I had my hair done today. Last time I went back to being more blond , well now I took the opposite direction.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Man Made Items

These totem poles are wonderful pieces of BC First Nations artistry. The totems you see at Brockton Point today are new ones commissioned or loaned to the park between 1986 and 1992.
