Silja Symphony Passing an Old Pilot Cottage…

…at Katajanokanluoto.

The small cottage on the island is from 1876 and it is the last of its kind in the city. Unfortunately it has been partially damaged in a fire.

Laajasalo metro was supposed to go through this tiny island but I guess they wouldn’t have built a station there. Today it seems that the plans for Laajasalo metro have been discarded.

    Goodness, this is an impressive photograph! Love the massiveness of the ship against the other elements in the shot…and the mist that hovers about…

    Great job!

    This is such a haunting image. The ship looks like it’s about to barrel into the small cottage. Absolutely awesome photography!
