Way to Helsinki

Way to Helsinki
Just a snapshot of another boring landscape again. Incidentally downtown Helsinki is seven kilometers in the direction of the tracks. Yes, Helsinki, the capital of Finland, the most urban hipsterious city in the world!

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

Spo has replied to Eefje club
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. :-)

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