Sunset is always unique. No two sunsets are alike. One of the most memorable sunset happened over a year ago when visiting the lovely island of Aspo in the Turku archipelago in Finland. Storm was approaching within few days. Wind was blowing and gaining strength. It made grilling outside impossible, although not without a try, and forced to enjoy supper inside the boat. And as the sun set, there were outstanding signs of oncoming weather. Sky turned to magnificent red, and dramatic clouds filled the horizon. Group of seagulls and terns filled the shore also watching and enjoying the dramatic sunset and amazing view.
See near as you would look far away. When far away, see as you would look close to you.
Several years ago when traveling in New Zealand I was sitting on a tourist boat admiring landscapes and sea views by the North Island. In the same boat there was an elderly man from New Zealand. He said that even though he lived so close to these amazing landscapes and wonders of nature he had never taken time to see these. We were as astonished by the landscapes only his journey to here had been about 45 hours and several thousand kilometers shorter.
Nearly perfect, blank paper.
Longing for absent ink.
Scent of clean white.
Calling dance of words.
Line emerges, image appears.
Finally meets each other
like always been together.
Welcome to photography and travel blog of photographer Kati Kalkamo.
Blog’s name has had its inspiration from the poem above that I wrote years ago. The blog tells about finding inspiration, evanescence, possibilities of unique beauty and the joy of discovery. Near and far. On the road and in the midst of everyday living. In Finland and around the world. On land and at sea.
