We stopped to have coffee in Savonlinna during our July trip.
The city was founded in 1639, based on Olavinlinna castle.

You can have a relaxing lake trip on steamboat…
We had a pleasant coffee break at Wanha Kasino.
Of course I had to take a photo of Olavinlinna castle
where they stage The Savonlinna Opera Festival
This video is total 2’49 long, Savonlinna starts at 1’42.

I didn’t watch the video but loved your photographs. Savonlinna looks like a wonderful place to visit. I’ll come back to that video one day if I ever get the opportunity to travel. Oh.. and I especially loved that watercolour!
Thank you for sharing your visit!
The boat tour sounds like so much fun. And, you get a different perspective on your photos.
Love the watercolor too. The purple is very intense.
I wish I could spend a day on the beautiful lake.
Ah! You should’ve given me a call! I would’ve joined you! 😉
great
Loce the face and how you have used the way watercolour bleesds, wonderful. The photos are wonderful.
seldom do I use ‘awesome’ in describing man-made anything, but I would find it awesome to enjoy such an old castle! lovely environs too!
interesting face, and well done.
What a grand castle, making imperial shadows!
The castle looks so stern and forbidding as it overlooks the modern seaside city and seacraft. No matter how menacing the castle looks, it does not detract from this beautiful Scandinavian day!
what a lovely way to spend your day! Your face is very well done! Love those lashes!
Savonlinnassa en ole koskaan käynyt! No, ehkä jonain päivänä…
Vahvat kasvot, tykkään pelkistetystä jäljestä.
wonderful, interesting face!
Ohh these photos are marvelous! Thank you for sharing them. I do like your painted face as well. Very nice.
Oh I love how interesting this face is…very nice job and great photos too!! Beautiful spot!

Great photo’s. Thanks for letting me tag along on your trip.
What a great face. I love the eyelashes but best of all I think is the effect of the paints merging. Brilliant
(By the way… my star sign is Aquarius too)
