autumn in Helsinki has been particularly beautiful this year: between
the first and the second week of October each tree in the city turned colourful and everywhere you looked was
red, yellow and orange. some days the sky had been bright blue and some others dark grey yet the colours of autumn made everything look cheerful even on cloudy days. the morning I took a walk with my
Nikon FM in
Töölönlahti the weather was foggy but I still got to capture some vivid colours.
a very colourful autumn I:
Nikon FM - Fuji Pro 400H
those days the
Barnacle Geese were gathering around the city to get ready to migrate: there were many of them in
Töölö bay and many people like me were walking around with their cameras to capture the birds and the beautiful autumn colours.
a family of swans too was getting a lot of attention from the passers-by: I will share some photographs of them soon.
The first one looks as if it has been shot with colour infrared film! So red, and beautiful. I miss summer, but autumn good as well. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I always forget words... *autumn is good as well.
DeleteThank you, Ingeborg! I wish I could try colour infrared film some day! Those trees were really incredibly red - sadly most of the leaves have already fallen off by now.
DeleteBeautiful pictures! The colours are amazing! And the birds don't even seem to be afraid of all the attention...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Nancy! The Barnacle Geese are hardly afraid of anything, they are pretty daring birds in fact.
DeleteI can almost hear the leaves rustling. Beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a surprisingly windless day actually - that's the reason behind the fog.
Deletelovely colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Hena! And thank you so much for stopping by my blog!
DeleteSuch intensity in your autumn colors! I'm incredibly jealous you get to take walks amongst all this nature, Polly!
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Katie! I have to say Helsinki offers wonderful opportunities for nature lovers!
Deletethe colors on the first one are so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteAren't they? Those trees were just wonderful in their autumn look! Thank you, Silvia!
DeleteWhat rich colours! It must feel wonderful to walk through all that colour!
ReplyDeleteIt did feel beautiful - unfortunately now most of the leaves have already fallen off the trees and everything looks naked and quite gray.
