“Helsinki isn’t all that bad. It’s a very nice city, and it’s cold really only in wintertime” Linus Torvalds

A Visit to Kamppi: One

A trip to the City Centre
Can be an extreme adventure
For a ‘gal from the suburbs
Can easily get into trouble
With many a temptations
Luring in the odd location

Share each Friday, on your own blog, one photo…or maybe even a gallery of some of your favorite photos that you have taken during the week, that make you smile or that was a great photo capturing opportunity…anything really! And as photographers are often known to say, “The best camera is, the one that you have with you!”

Favourite Photo Friday, 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-15)

Those of you snapping pix, know this to be a tedious task, since to be honest, they are all favourites of the moments they were taken, why else would you have shot them in the first place, right? Trying to limit to just one or two photos is difficult for any post, but trying my best here from the several thousand photos shot and posted during 2015 😉

For this weeks Favourite Photo Friday posts, I have decided to walk through 2015 and choose a few of my most favourite ones during the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane of 2015 in photographs!

For this week’s breakdown, I have chosen snaps from London, Mallorca and Greece. Go and check out the related posts:

Greece, Athens, Acropolis, Travel to History

“We have chased away the clouds, the sky is all ‘rose.'” Francois Hollande

Fire in the Sky (Daily Photo 2016-01-14)

The sky
Supposedly blue
Now
The colour
Of a rosy hue
Fluffiest
Of clouds
Painting
A red shroud
The sun is
About to rise

“I look like the man in the moon” Martin Freeman

Daylight Moon (Daily Photo 2016-01-09)

The cloudless blue evening sky
Bringing the moon out from its hide
Painted neatly into the landscape
With a uncompleted crescent shape

The eternal battle
Closer to a haggle
Between moon and sun
Had once more begun

Favourite Photo Friday 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-08)

For this weeks Favourite Photo Friday posts, I have decided to walk through 2015 and choose a few of my most favourite ones during the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane of 2015 in photographs!

For this particular post I have chosen three sets of photographs in three separate posts:

* The Finnish Dream: The idyllic setting of living for a Finn, a cottage on an island near or in the capital area and in the warmth of never ending summer, of course!
* Lighthouses: Two lighthouses for this post; One from the island of Evia, Greece. The other one from the Finnish southern most archipelago, the Söderskär Lighthouse.
* On the boat: An activity very dear to me, leisure time on a boat, with images from Cyprus and Verbania, Italy.

Enjoy!
