Asfalttimetsän lehtiä

Maybe it's just my browser, but it seems to me that blogger uploads pictures in a poorer quality than it used to? Click on the picture to see in larger size, it looks sharper that way.

"Leaves of the asphalt forest" is what the title is in English, but my modest little play on words only works in Finnish: you see "lehti" means both "leaf" and "paper" or "magazine".

I don't believe it is your browser, because I find the similar thing with my photos, I upload them here, and it loses some quality.

i agree Maria, but even so, I like this image and the atmosphere about it immenaely. i also like your wordplay! By the way we also use leaf or leaves to describe the pages of a book. Our expression 'take a leaf out of someone's book' means to take a page from it or in other words, to copy them, so we could actually do nearly the same.

Hope you are well this weekend! I am stil mentally savouring my visit to your lovely city and the places you showed me. Thanks again!

Grace and Val Hmhh... I wonder why they have messed up with that stuff.

Val, oh that's right, in fact phrases like "turn over a leaf" came to my mind later. Of course, no need to thank me, giving you a tour in Helsinki was my pleasure!
