... People living on the coast of Gulf of Bothnia has this speciality that us southeners at the Gulf of Finland don't: the sun that sets into the sea. Shooting against the setting sun was especially challenging this time because of the huge contrast between the glittering sea and the gloomy skies. Luckily I always shoot raw, I wouldn't have succeeded at all without it, not even close. Funny that there was this constant flux of people to the tip of the sand bank even though everyone could clearly see there was absolutely nothing out there. Perhaps the adults hoped they'd hear Sirens singing there, and the kids would get a glimpse of the mighty Kraken.

I'd surely say "What ever will come of boys who play with guns!" - if I had not done it myself as a kid. I like the image because it reminds me of being a boy. Not just because of the guns or the boys, but because of the place: this is how it used to be. I took this picture in the middle of Helsinki, and, as you may guess, there are not too many streets like this left.
