May 14: evening run

Late that evening, I tried something new out, which I didn't do again until a number of years later: taking my camera along on a run. I think my motivation was the colorful sunset and wanting to take some pix of places I'd only seen on runs before, without camera. It worked okay.

Wellamo Corner in the pink sunset light.

1319

Nice airbrushy clouds.

1321

The Merihaka towers under the clearing line.

1325

Uspenski and the crew in the pink cloud light.

1335

Framed view to the north from a court on a hill in Kruununhaka, the Kallio church steeple just visible at the left edge of the gap.

1336

I kept the camera on a lot of the time to keep from having to manually open the lens each time I wanted to take a picture, as the camera was partly busted. Sometimes this meant accidental action shots.

1339

Sunset buses.

1344

The shoreway along the south side of Siltasaari ("Bridge Island"), a small peninsula between the center and Kallio.

1352

And then the shoreway along the north side, looking toward the drummish office building by Hakaniemi.

1356

Siltasaari contains only three (large) blocks of buildings, but among them is some really neat Jugend architecture, including this stone edifice which is called Graniittilinna (the Granite Castle) or at least contains a restaurant of said name, per Google Maps.

1364

Those great Hakaniemi buildings (seen in several shots here in the sunlight).

1367

Sunset ripples.

1378

There was this pair of gates/tunnels under buildings back in Kruununhaka, letting the lane Siltavuorenpenger through, that allowed this view down to Unioninkatu.
