Main Church, Old Porvoo

A wedding was just about to happen and lucky for me the bassist just walked past at exactly the right time!

Old hinges, Old Porvoo

I liked the colour of the wood and the hinges, I assume it had all been once painted an orange which had started to fade or rust away

Narrow streets, Old Porvoo

The two women were taking modelling shots of each other. The next time I went to Porvoo there was a more professional photoshoot going on... obviously a popular street!

50s Train, Porvoo

This old 1950s/60s train travels on the weekends from Helsinki to Porvoo... you can't tell but the train engineer is waving to me after a long chat at the station!

Abandoned Iron, Porvoo

I'm still not sure whether black and white was correct for this photo, but it allowed more detail and more aged substance.

Minion Train, Porvoo

This old train travels in the summer from Helsinki to Porvoo. When I first saw it I thought someone had painted it to look like the Minions from Despicable Me... but no... this is pretty much a living museum piece.

Dramatic Sky, Porvoo

I loved the cloud trails, reminded me of the sky in the Canadian Prairies

Steam train, Porvoo

My second trip to Porvoo was by steam train. I managed to get this photo as the train engine sped past me in full steaming glory!

Trees on the castle grounds, Porvoo

In the middle ages, their was a fairly large wooden castle with three moats overlooking Porvoo. The castle is long gone, and mystery surrounds much about it, however these gorgeous trees have reclaimed the land. I liked the golden sheen of the bark

Reflections in the window, Old Porvoo

I liked the red wood framing the blue sky and green house reflection.

Help! Porvoo

I just find this photo fun. This is my friend Jorden looking for all the world as if he's stuck in this train car.

Basket of Flowers, Old Porvoo

Flowers, Old Porvoo

Am surprised this came out. I had to take it near blind from the bottom of the flowers and hope it focused.
