Somewhere over the rainbow

Not often do I get to photograph the entire arc of a rainbow. Here’s a view from the tower at Saint Olaf’s Church in Tallinn, Estonia, and that city’s ferry docks in the distance.

Senate Square

This is a neat public space in Helsinki. That beautiful building in the background is a church and all the people gathered out front were participating in some kind of art event that involved building structures with paper boxes … and tearing it all down.

Tavaranvastaanotto

Cool interplay between the lines of the brick wall and the shadow of that canopy, spotted in Helsinki recently.
