February 25 – March 7: miscellaneous
Here a bit of an emphasis on celestial phenomena.
0765
From the kitchen window of the apartment: looking west toward downtown, with the smokestack of a cruise ship intervening in the harbor between Katajanokka and the mainland.
0769
Lovely crisp sunlight streaming into the living room. The apartment certainly did everything it could with the daylight it got.
0770
Another late afternoon with roily clouds.
0801
From a seat of one of the older-style trams.
0802
The UFO-like water tower (although this seemed a common shape for them) on Lauttasaari, an island between Helsinki and Espoo that was skirted by the highway we took to TKK.
0811
Senaatintori steps had a message.
0817
I wonder what Anne thought about this.
0833
Night shot of the lights in the square from the kitchen table.
0834
Oh yes and also the moon.
0840
Late sun, enervated by the bank of altostratus before it.
0842
A little bit closer.
0848
Ah, but then it reemerged.
0851
Red sunlight on the flashing of the buildings down the street.
0855
Looking east on Aleksanterinkatu from Mannerheimintie; a typically busy scene. Aleksi is the biggest shopping street in Helsinki, and Stockmann is pretty much the anchor store for the whole city.
