Heinola – An Incredibly Beautiful City in Autumn

October 13, 2008 | Filed Under Personal | 4 Comments 

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!
