This beautiful construction is from a café situation on the main boulevard in Helsinki where the middle as a green pedestrian area. Understandably the café is very popular.

At peak at one of Helsinki’s beautiful churches.

I really loved the retro street signs in the district behind the cathedral.

Another sweet detail from the 30’ies houses in Helsinki.

There were two areas I found charming in Helsinki – the main street running from the habor and a district behind their famous white cathedral. With the city being fairly resent, there have much space for art deco and art nouveau. Here is one detail from a building.

Only when we got to Helsinki, did we read up on the history. It turned out there wasn’t much of city there until mid-1800. Which explained why we looked wide and far for charm. But there were a couple of interesting buildings, the main train station being one.

Last spring we came across some very cheap tickets to Helsinki and found an equally cheap hotel. Why Helsinki? Why not? Neither of us had been there.
This structure was on one of the main streets. It’s made of wood and I found out later it is a chapel. Had I known I would have gone inside.
Esbjerg 2, 2012
The image yesterday caused me to repost this 2012 image from the same location. I apologize for not having the time to dig it out and edit it from scratch – my fingers are itching, though.
Anyway, same location in Esbjerg, Man at Sea by Svend Wiig Hansen looking out over the Nordic Sea. But a different season. This was taken in the summer while the other was close to the shortest day of the year.
“You as a child”
A last example of submission to Lenscratch‘ open on-line exhibitions – one image per person and all gets shown. The theme here was ‘you as a child’. I chose the image ‘Still Mommy’s Little Girl’ form my self portrait series.
I took a current head shot, cut out so the picture of me around age three could be placed in the newer photo and re-photographed.
Someone you love
I’ve chosen this image for the open Valentine’s exhibition on Lenscratch. It was originally in color as I rarely work with B&W. But chance made me rework the image and I feel it became even stronger. It’s one of my favorite images from all of last year.
