wood, water, stone

An aerial view of Hanaholmen, the Swedish-Finnish Cultural Center, on the tiny island of Hanasaari, where I'm staying this week.

Down at the shoreline, clear gray-green ripples lap the pebbles with a tenderness, a liquid musicality, that is inexpressibly lovely. Everywhere my eyes turn, they feast on textures of green, delicate blues, layered into shades of brown wood and weathered stone.
