last week the weather was particularly sunny: on
thursday afternoon I decided to take my
Nikon FM for a tour of the
Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden and the
Winter Garden in
Töölö - glass houses look even better when the sun shines through them. I spent
monday afternoon in my
darkroom: I had a lovely and very productive time there - see
some of the prints below.

it doesn't matter how many times I visit it -
Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden remains one of my
favourite places in Helsinki.
P.S. photographs from the Winter Garden to come soon in a new post!
quelle degli interni sono fantastiche. la luce è stupenda e sembrano di un'altra epoca. non c'è niente da fare il bianco e nero per le costruzioni in vetro è top. *-*
