SCRAPBOOK of HELSINKI VISIT_2015
Scandinavia's nature is a photographer's delight. During my short visit in June,15, I found Helsinki green. Lingering day - light seeping through curtains even @ 2 am. The second round - September to November - was more interesting as I witnessed the change of season. Bright blue sky, orange sunset, colours of autumn and then ground frost on brown trees......
Trees which have shed all the leaves have another kind of appeal. In a photo, it looks like a painting with Chinese ink. My bro-in-law suggested - if I would lie down on the ground and take photos of a cluster of trees , the puddle-like sky seen through the cluster. Well, I did not go that 'far' , but, clicked several photos with camera-lens pointing up , while I stood at the bottom of the bare branches. On the flip-side, when I returned home, I found my hair and jacket have collected good nos of insects.
I took scores of photos of berries - both black and red - on near-barren branches . And... of white and yellow mushrooms which grew on a stack of cut-off trunks of birch trees.
Colour of sunset against a deep blue sky

Colour of 'Autumn'.

And... this one is almost monochrome.
As if painted by Chinese ink !
