At the Tall Ships Race

During our trip to Finland we were lucky enough to experience the Tall Ships Race in Helsinki. It is a Regatta with a high number of large sailing boats participating. They  were in Helsinki for a couple of days and we visited the harbour to see them. I wore this look during a long walk in the centre of town. At 25 degrees it wasn't too warm and I enjoyed the wind a lot, as you can see!

In the evening, I changed into jeans and added a cardigan to keep from freezing as there was quite a breeze blowing during that night. The ships were beautiful during sunset and I enjoyed the evening ... until a seagull poo... on me.

It's a little late, but as we were enjoying our last days of vacation and then travelled back, I can only link up with Visible Monday now.

That picture of you with the blowing scarf is one to keep and show the grandchildren one day ... "see how beautiful Grandmother was?" You'd be right!

Lucky you being able to have such an experience!! What amazing photos and what memories you'll have of the trip! And the scarf fluttring in the breeze will definitely remind you of that wind :)

You are right, that picture is so wonderful. I really like the outcome, even though it wasn't an intended picture. I guess those are the best, right :)
