But for now it is still Summer in Helsinki on this website and I hope you will find the photos interesting. Happy holidays and take care!
The last of the photos I took in Helsinki this Summer are now uploaded to the City page. It has taken me quite some time to upload the Helsinki photos which means I have a back catalouge from the Fall to upload. This is good news for me since I tend to lose inspiration during Winter and good news for you since you will get updates despite my lack of inspiration.
But for now it is still Summer in Helsinki on this website and I hope you will find the photos interesting. Happy holidays and take care!

Before I left for my trip to Helsinki I asked my friends on Facebook what I needed to see while in Helsinki. I didn't get many answers but two of them said that I had to go to Suomenlinna or Sveaborg as it is called in Swedish. They were right. Suomenlinna was not only a beautiful place to spend a day but also very interesting as it is a part of Finnish as well as Swedish history. I will not go into the details of that history because I'mm sure I will get it wrong somewhere along the line but if you want to know more there's facts just a Google search away. For me, as a photographer, Suomenlinna was a challenge. I took so many photos in places I found interesting and beautiful that, when I viewed them in the computer, turned out dull and boring. It is hard to capture an atmosphere, an air, through a lense and especially as you share the space with a lot of others. In your mind you can go back in time and see what the fortress must've looked like when it was still working as a fortress. The problem is that you want to capture that minds picture but you constantly have to avoid the modern clothing, the strollers, the smartphones, all of the stuff that wouldn't have been there back in the day. So instead I tried to capture details I found beautiful and I hope you'll like the photos as well. And if you do visit Helsinki, be sure to take the boat ride to Suomenlinna. The photos are uploaded on the City page. The first set of photos from my trip to Helsinki, Finland this Summer is up. Check out the City page. This first set features photos taken around the city and the next couple of sets will be more specific in place. Hope you enjoy them! |
