summer in helsinki III.

I would like to share just a few more photographs from that film roll I took with my Nikon FM soon after it had been repaired - over a week has passed now since then. when we first moved into this apartment it had been autumn and I couldn't really imagine how beautiful the backyard would have become in the summer: now the flowers are in bloom - daisies, roses, lilacs - and the bushes and trees are wonderfully green and overgrown. everything gives the garden an overall wild romantic look which I love: it reminds both of my grandmother's garden and of those English ones of the 18th century. two sundays ago I spent the afternoon reading in the sun surrounded by birds and flowers: it had been truly relaxing and I am hoping I will have more sunny days to spend in our backyard this summer. I took these last few shots around the rose bushes - which had then just started to bloom.
Nikon FM - Fuji Pro 400H:
three photographs from our backyard in bloom.
now it is time to start packing: tomorrow we will fly to Iceland to start our 10-day road trip there. I still cannot believe I will finally see those sublime landscapes: I hope I will be able to capture some of that magic in my photographs - I got very many film rolls to record such a dream coming true.
see you all later! ♥
