Way to Helsinki

Not boring at all. I like empty spaces. Especially flat ones, ever since my legs started playing up. :-) PS. Hipsterious sound well groovious.

Come on Dolores, it is not empty!! :-)

It was when you took the pic. I don't see any uman beens in it. But perhaps I'm going blind...:-)

But think about all that barley in there! :-)

o0o the clouds really do grace the landscape ... it is a picture, a location
where I would literally just want to stand and stare at ... smooth in black
and white too ... oOo

a wonderful landscape capture

like the softness
Helsinki yèèh

Beautifully composed.
Congrats on Explore.

Wonderful shot.

well done
congrats

I love lanes going nowhere but to poetry...

You have a marvellous way of putting it, Christel.

I don't find it boring at all, could be the b&w editing but it has a sense of mystery.

Not much editing here in fact: I just tamed the dynamics a bit and toned it. The sky at the right looks as if it was darkened on the top, but it was just like that from the camera. I actually thought about editing that look away, but didn't bother in the end.

The mystery might have something to do with the combination of the tracks and the peculiar clouds. The cloud stripes are from the passenger jets, which approach the local airport from this direction when the wind is from northwest.

I like the tracks in the field leading into the landscape. It's good you have such open spaces just a few km outside town!

Actually these fields belong to the Agricultural department of the University of Helsinki, and are used to grow all kinds of experimental things – but not quite like the things in the 1951 movie The Thing from Another World, however. At least I hope so. :-)

A great viewpoint and first rate composition. And, what a fantastic sky! An immediate fave for me, Seppo.

A humble thank you, Roger.

Wonderful picture!!!*****

J'adore cette ambiance

Beautiful light and that sky is just right.

Thank you, Eva. Clouds are the most underrated art in life. Perhaps it is because they come free of charge.

Great black & white capture
