AD-X Part V: Off to Sweden

Once again we were up early and on the road to Myyrmäki Lutheran Church. It was a very interesting space- quite light and airy.

Good location too.
And great lighting.
We then stopped at Hvitträsk, the home and studio of the Saarinsen architects. The house itself was nice enough, but the really amazing part were the grounds. The house was built on a large hill above a lake. There is a lakeside sauna and some fantastic trails around the lake. Let's let the pictures speak for themselves.
Artsy.
The view from the dock.
The trail to the point.
Water. In case you couldn't tell.
We then headed back to Turku via a cemetery.
It starts getting dark very early in the wild north.
Several fun filled hours were spent waiting for our return ferry to Stockholm, the Isabella this time. To pass some of the time we went to a canal boat bar to compare our sketchbooks out of the wind. After a little exploration of the town, we boarded the boat for our return journey.
AD-X, having a glorious time waiting for the bus.
