Sipoo, Gumbostrand

Today I’ll share some maritime summer views, photos taken at Gumbostrand, Sipoo.

In this small marina there were no sailboats, only motorboats. 

The day was beautiful & sunny, not too hot.

There was a swan family with four chicks.

Unfortunately they were a bit too far a way for my mobile phone.

 

There were beautiful villas, too. Many had maritime views.

I wonder how many hundred kilos this old anchor would weigh...

In a later post I'll tell you about the gallery & art exhibition of Gumbostrand Konst & Form.

My July in Collage

In JULY the heat wave was gone and I was happy about it.

We got also rain and that was really needed.

A friend and I had a lovely museum day and had pleasant lunch later on at our terrace, 

two of dh’s cousins visited us with their wifes and we had a nice time,

there were also some other guests. Nice memories for the winter...

The most interesting posts would be:

Friday Bliss #202 - Wood Artist Robert Lappalainen

Old Love / Vanha rakkaus

These fabulous wood sculptures were on show at Gumbostrand Konst & Form created by Robert Lappalainen. This is how former race car driver, nowadays wood artist Lappalainen (b. 1949) presents himself:

"On my own farm, I cut down the trees myself and after drying them, unique art is created. I am excited as a little boy about my new profession, so it will be a long day at the workshop. I often sit for long periods of time in my studio and think, what I am going to do with that huge tree trunk. In the end it turns into a beautiful unique work of art. Before it is finished it has been worked for months, piece by piece towards the end result. When the piece is finished, I hug it and thank it for the wonderful time together, because the tree has done the greatest job growing for 150 years and I only spent a few months on it.”

Enchantment / Lumous

Beautiful / Kaunis

Transilluminated / Läpi valaistu

Light touch / Hento kosketus

Lotus

Daylilies are starting to bloom.

I don’t know the name of this one, but I like its brownish shade very much.

Wishing you a wonderful last weekend of July and good start to August!

Friday Bliss #201 -Götheborg II Sailing Ship in Helsinki

The original Götheborg / Gothenburg, a trading vessel that belonged to the Swedish East India Company, sank in 1745. Despite going down in the Göta älv river near Gothenburg harbor, divers were first able to explore its wreck in the 1980s. A full-scale replica Götheborg II was completed in 2005-2007. At its completion, the project had cost about 250 million SEK (almost $40 million), some 40% from public funds and the rest from sponsors.

The ship is now undertaking its second major trip. The journey will continue in the coming months across the Nordic capitals, Western Europe and the Mediterranean. In the spring of 2023, the ship will head through the Suez Canal toward the Indian Ocean with a destination in the port of Shanghai, where it is scheduled to arrive in late 2023.

Nearly 50 meters long and 11 meters wide, the ship is the world’s largest wooden ocean-going sailing vessel in service. The ship was open to the public in the South Harbor of Helsinki near Kauppatori, Market Place.  The ship was fun to see and it brought to my mind Caribbean pirates! Wikipedia offers more information on Götheborg II, also the photo underneath with full sails from there.

Wishing you wonderful & sunny July days!
