May 12: Porvoo old town
We walked all around the old town with its picturesque cobbly streets.
0503
The east side of the church.
0506
Think I snapped this while on the move.
0513
The north side of the church and tower.
0515
Getting green!
0519
Bashful car is bashful.
0521
I like how refined and solid this fence seems except for the grass lolling in the big gap below it.
0525
Cobbles and claps.
0534
An assortment of roof distances.
0538
This fence means business, no grass sneaking through under there. — Edit 5/12/19: just weeds growing at its base instead!
0540
This looks like a locust at first glance, but those hangy things aren't bean pods as they would be on a locust. They look more like samara clusters or something.
0544
First flowers of spring, maybe? Hi guys. — Edit 5/12/19: uh except for the ones just above, at each end of the fence with the grass growing out under it? Not to mention the Stockholm daffodils over a month earlier?? C'mon. Still, these are some cuties here for sure.
0549
A roofsnowcatcher, something I'm more accustomed to seeing in Switzerland.
0550
Some eave details for yall.
0558
This is a cool weird old building.
0561
Some proud mortar beads.
0562
The beads in a wider context.
0567
We visited the recently built library, designed by Tuomo Siitonen Architects and completed back in time in 1999.
0568
Maybe we were told what this building was, but if so, I forget; looks like a big ol' factory.
0571
Kirjasto bibliotek rainscreen. The letters look a little like unlit neon letters, wish they were.
0573
Rabbit bollard. Rabbollard.
0585
A big front plaza for the library.
0587
An elevated view inside.
0594
These book cabinets are part of some kind of cool automated technology, but I forget quite what it does.
0595
Nice lil' covered amphitheater outside one corner of the library.
