Back to the pine forest behind the town

The alarm went off before dawn, and by six I was already at the pine forest behind the town. By noon the crowds arrived, so I walked further along the path, where stone walls were still undisturbed.

A short walk: an empty beach in November

I went to an empty beach in November with a borrowed medium format camera and no particular plan. Walking back, I found a side street I had never noticed before, lined with tiny workshops.

Walking to the botanical garden

A friend suggested the botanical garden months ago, and this week I finally went. The path was muddy and longer than the map suggested, but the view at the end made up for it.

Harbour cranes at the old harbour

It has been a while since my last trip to the old harbour. The light was still, and harbour cranes kept pulling my attention away from anything I had planned to photograph.

A morning at a quiet monastery

It has been a while since my last trip to a quiet monastery. The light was strangely warm, and snow tracks kept pulling my attention away from anything I had planned to photograph.

On small boats

The alarm went off before dawn, and by six I was already at the northern lakes. The path was muddy and longer than the map suggested, but the view at the end made up for it.

I went to an abandoned railway line with a 50mm lens and no particular plan. Halfway through I switched to black and white, which suited the windy weather much better.

A friend suggested the old harbour months ago, and this week I finally went. Shooting with a borrowed medium format camera meant I had to get closer than I am used to, which was uncomfortable at first.

A short walk: a lighthouse at the end of the spit

The forecast promised rain, so naturally I headed to a lighthouse at the end of the spit. Most of the morning went into watching stone walls; I took fewer frames than usual, but each one felt deliberate.

On harbour cranes

Some places are better in the off-season, and a birch grove after rain is one of them. I kept a paper notebook this time, writing down the time and the light for every roll.

Morning markets at the botanical garden

The alarm went off before dawn, and by six I was already at the botanical garden. The path was muddy and longer than the map suggested, but the view at the end made up for it.

Street corners at the botanical garden

It has been a while since my last trip to the botanical garden. The light was cold and clear, and street corners kept pulling my attention away from anything I had planned to photograph.
