Last beautiful day of Autumn

 

and whooper swans enjoying it to the full.

Lauttasaari

Lauttasaari and beyond into the Baltic Sea. That way is Estonia.

Behind the main part of Helsinki city.

 

Seaside wandering

Lovely day by the sea in the late autumn.

The rocks which have been fghting the sea and ice for time unknown.

The sun still having some power to warm in a spot where the wind could not over throw its warmth.

Sorry to have been awfully quiet lately. Too much to do at work, and lousy Finnish autumn weather has been making it a bit difficult to enjoy the outdoors lately. Wish I was back in south Europe once more. Or maybe the snow will come and make everything beautiful here in Helsinki as well.

These views could not differiate much more from what we have here. Dry, hard light, warmth. A totally different atmosphere to the weather here currently.

 

I have been gravitating more and more towards monochrome in the photos I take, be it due to the bleakness of the nature or some other reason, I do not know.
