Description
Well, Finland is a wonderful country with a swedish legacy.Porvoo is a small town in southern Finland, it is also one of the six medieval towns in Finland, first mentioned as a city in texts from 14th century.
Porvoo also has a certain point of intersection with russian history - that's the town, where Alexander I, the russian emperor confirmed the new Finnish constitution and made Finland an autonomous Grand Duchy.
Okay, enough with history, i must say, i really love this photo. I don't know, the night look of these warehouses remind me of some good old times, something like 16-17th centuries...
The picture is small cause it looks good if it's extremely small or full-sized, there's no third option. Hope you'll like it.
Well.. Check my other pictures.

I hope you take this as a compliment.....I get a sense of Thomas Kinkade (the painter of light) from this photo. Good proportions and great depth from front to back. Very nice
