May 4–11: miscellaneous

Another miscellany, focused on the ubiquity of the sun by this point.

0277

Late sun on some office buildings on the back way home from TKK.

0283

Late sun on Rautatieasema and Sokos.

0288

Cathedral twilight.

0294

The gunite-covered foundation hole along Merikasarminkatu on the way back to the apartment.

0296

Twilight over the Katajanokka Jugend quarter.

0303

The view from the apartment balcony out toward Korkeasaari and Hanasaari and beyond.

0305

Ever more copious sun.

0315

Still waxing moon.

0318

Definitive white nights were happening by this point, which was really exciting.

0336

I took a walk fairly late in the evening but before sunset, I think to take a break from the marathon of finishing up my final drawings.

0341

Sun colors.

0343

The camera lens was pretty well caked.

0344

Courtyard sunset.

0345

Bricksun.

0356

Blue, yellow and green.

0359

The buds were opening up just in time for us to leave before the leaves really showed up fully.

0361

Eastern view just off shore. I didn't want to have to leave just as things were getting so pretty, but there it was.

0365

Severe clear sunset.

0373

It's quite something how varied in color a clear sky often is around sunset; it's not just a simple gradient.

0374

More flora springing back to life.

0376

A little more sun on the way back to the apartment.

0379

The laundry alley.

0381

The sun was finding its way around into every corner.

0385

There was quite a rainstorm on final review day; this is looking over the TKK campus from Paja.

0388

The sun showed up for a bit before being swallowed up again.

0392

A look inside Lasipalatsi after our post-review dinner there.

0396

11:20 PM and still lots of color in the sky!

0400

The typical nighttime illumination of the lobby.

0402

The elevators only had single-layer doors, which is why this one is seen to be descending.
