Helsinki, Finland

A few pictures from Helsinki, with a focus on architecture and light. Staircase shadows, the curves of the library, and a quiet moment inside a church.

An outdoor staircase casting a zigzag shadow on a white wall

Random staircase, I liked the contract and the shadow.

A seagull flying above the curved facade of Helsinki’s Oodi library

Helsinki’s library, beautiful building with such a modern architecture.

Swimmers in a bright blue outdoor pool beside the sea

I like the contrast between the deep blue of the swimming pool water, and the cold dark water of the bay.

The sweeping wooden facade of Oodi library across a public square

The library again, with moody sky.

A person lit by a shaft of light among church pews beneath organ pipes

Someone praying in a church, felt intense.

Sunlight and shadows across slanted roof windows

Reflections in that same church’s modern roof.
