a red flower in a green countryside

A red flower in a green countryside :: Iso 100 _ f/8 _ 1/320 _ 180mm

Last week we went cycling along a path called “Ippovia“. At noon many people hided away from the sun in the shadow of the greenest trees. I took a couple of shoots. I like this the most. It’s by no means original. I’ve seen many pictures like this one around. After all it’s not what it is, it’s how we see it. I was happy that I saw it. I felt it. You should have seen that field. So quiet but full of happiness. Sun can burn things in August. But in June it just gives life to the crops in the countryside near my hometown. And that red flower. He stood up. He clearly wanted to be seen. The only red flower in an endless field of greens.

postcards from Helsinki

A ferry passing by in Helsinki :: Iso 80 _ f/3.2 _ 0.5 _ 70mm

Working for a Finnish company took me many times to Finland in the last six years. I’ve been mainly visiting the Vaasa area, which I found familiar as it looked to me close to the Ontario area where I stayed in my University years (I covered the similarities – actually based on some real facts, as I found out with some internet searching – in this other post). I’ve being flying through Helsinki lots of times and I had a couple of quick meetings too, but this time was different. I had two great guides (thank you Heidi and Mauro) who gave me a fast and effective introduction to the nicest spots in town. I was stunned by the colors of the evening sky, all of them impossible in southern europe, going from a stylish gray to a light dark purple, but sometimes bluish too. The quiteness; the graceful silence that surrounded me near the Cathedral; the surreal look of a smoking funnel of a ferry pretending to be just another house among the landscape of historical buildings. Something to remember!

Copenhagen in January :: Iso 80 _ f/2.8 _ 0.6″ _ 35mm

Taken in Copenhagen, in a cold evening, walking around with no clear target. Artificial lights in northern cities remember me of Dan Flavin works. It’s like walking in a street-open (contemporary) museum.
