A look at the entrance to Suomenlinna .. it looks rather Edward Hopper-esque, don't you think?

You can just barely see a large ocean-going Silja line vessel in the right side of the picture that was taller than the island when it floated by a few moments after I snapped this picture.
Unfortunately, you can see the reflection of the ferry in the window glass that I was photographing through. Bummer.

As far as I know, this is a fully functional sailboat that travels from one port to another, where it sets up as a restaurant for awhile, before moving on.

Suomenlinna is one of my two favorite haunts in Helsinki. Suomenlinna is an island fortress was built from stone by the Swedes to protect Finland (which was a part of Sweden in the 1700s) from invasion by sea.

New Year's Eve day was so misty that I could barely see out of the window of my flat, so I grabbed my cameras and went to a nearby farmer's field to photograph trees. Unfortunately, the fog was thicker 40 meters above the ground, so the trees did not appear to be as magical as I had hoped. In this image, I…
