Your turn up the wheel

Just a lazy, warm Sunday afternoon in Hamburg. It was definitely shorts weather that day back in the beginning of August, with the temperature hitting a high of 30 degrees C … except I hadn’t changed into my shorts.

What lies beneath the surface

One of the many turrets along the wall surrounding the old city in Tallinn, Estonia, seen along the surface of a puddle. Captured this image back in August.

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.
