kivinokka I.

on a sunday morning over a week ago Jacopo and I decided to try and have the first picnic of the season. it was a fine sunny day and we first took a walk around a springy Herttoniemen Siirtolapuutarha.
Hasselblad 500 C/M:

Ilford PanF Plus 50
most of the houses had been just opened up after the winter and many people were taking good care of their little gardens. we then walked up a hill further into the forest and settled on a rock overlooking the sea: a lovely place called Kivinokka.

the bright sunny day and the very low iso gave a nice contrast to the photographs: I should use Ilford PanF Plus more often. ♥ the 5th photograph was taken by Jacopo.
I will share more from that day soon!

      thank you, dear Charlyn! I wish we could have stayed longer, but the wind was a bit chilly in the end! I hope you've had a lovely weekend!
