We were on vacation in the Mikkeli area most of the week and dropped in to Heinola area for lunch on the trip up. It’s one of my favorite cities – rural but with so much history. I especially love the ancient oak lined esplanade along the central lake area.
First, the black and whites. Most were taken in the rain – long before the sun peeked out later in the day.
The train trestle – a site every Heinola resident knows well.
And later, the sun finally came out for us. These are at an area where a river turns into fast rapids.
And, of course, all that glorious fall color
This was under a train trestle – the new route linking Lahti to Helsinki. There was the most exquisite light down there.
And now, back to proofing last week’s sessions!
Siiiigh. Absolutely perfect, absolutely!
Where do I start ….
I love the new ANDREA JOKI on the photos – gorgeous Andrea.
I love the images of your daughter in these and it’s so lovely to see her in this type of outfit.
Oh, and doesn’t she look more and more like you! WOW!
The light is beautiful and I love the 1st shot with those stunning trees.
Oh! Just lovely, Andrea. Her expression is so cute in the second last one but my fav ones show the rich autumn colours! Very inspiring!
These are beautiful but the last one takes my breath away!
