The sun was fading, though slowly.

In places it was still quite present.

An interesting conjunction of buildings.

An interesting little street graffito.

Looking up Vyökatu toward the disembodied dome of the Kasino.

More Olofsborg.

BORG

7441.jpg

This building, already seen, is one that I wish I could remember the background on.

7443.jpg

Across from it is Louhi, named, curiously, after a witch who is one of the important antagonists in the Kalevala.

The pink hue of Louhi was reflected on the one building.

7453.jpg

Another well-composed entry.

7471.jpg

Back to Aeolus, here the Kruunuvuorenkatu side.

Last sun down Kruunuvuorenkatu.

The green of Aeolus has turned beige in the orange sun.

OOWWLLSS

7494.jpg

A somewhat classical- or baroque-looking detail yet still idiosyncratic enough to be Jugend.

7497.jpg

A multifaith cascade of spires.

7507.jpg

Yet another... Well-Composed Entry !!

7509.jpg

Golden-hour seagull!

7510.jpg

The long view down Kruunuvuorenkatu back toward Uspenski.

The stoutly-built swimming hall (I think that's what it is) on the height of land along the tram route.

Last sun in Merisotilaantori.
