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.
1317
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.
1383
A view south along Snellmaninkatu. Liking those quoins on the left there.
1385
Quite the place at the northern terminus of Snellmaninkatu (although it is admittedly quite difficult to see here).
1392
More Jugend.
1395
A glimpse of the cathedral.
1408
Uspenski in the gathering dusk.
1411
Twilight still bright near the northern horizon, accompanied by firefly-like streetlights.
1421
Wellamo Corner again, just barely visible.
1426
The docked icebreakers.
1431
An assortment of lights.
1439
The view out toward Hanasaari, twilight still bright below the clouds.
1444
Merihaka to Hanasaari.
1457
Isobrightness in Merisotilaantori.
1461
The last bit of twilight from the kitchen window.
