Tenderness

Another throwback to my trip to northern Europe back in August 2014. This is one example of the many pieces of the public art in Helsinki, Finland.

Tallinn, Estonia

One of only a handful of images I was able to capture in Tallinn, Estonia, on a day-trip in August 2014 from Helsinki, Finland. While I was eating lunch, the sky opened up and down came torrential downpours for the rest of the afternoon. That day, I learned my camera had weather sealing, while my rain jacket had lost its impermeability.

Opera, Copenhagen, Denmark

The opera house in Copenhagen is such an imposing sight. This was snapped during my August 2014 visit to northern Europe.

A view of Stockholm, Sweden, from the observation deck of the city’s main television/radio broadcasting tower. Snapped this in August 2014.

In-spiring view

From a brief visit to Hamburg almost three years ago … this is the clock tower at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church. I can tell you it’s a long climb to the top — great cardio exercise at the very least, rewarded with nice views if you like that sort of thing.

Canadian maple leaf flag, London, England

When visiting London, Canada House is truly hard to miss, what with its bevy of Canadian flags on the building’s exterior and its prime location on Trafalgar Square. Snapped this image on my last visit last September … and sharing the photo today on the occasion of Canada’s 150th anniversary. Happy Canada Day.
