Stockholm, Sweden

Looking out a porthole aboard a ferry, just departing Stockholm on its way to Helsinki. Snapped this from my visit to northern Europe in August 2014.

One of the livelier streets in downtown Helsinki, busy with people and vehicles, as seen around midday sometime in August 2014.

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.
