The Historical Wooden Ships Days in Helsingør this weekend is a wonderful gathering of 120 big and small wooden boats. Below is a collection of my pictures from the event:
Catastrophes, wars, terrorism, ecological disasters, deadly diseases, poverty .... The list of tragedies - both personal and public - is endless. Every day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel depressed and weary. This blog tries - in a modest and personal way - to contribute to a more balanced view. After all, there is so much to appreciate and enjoy in life ...

The Finnish Navy´s minelayer Uusimaa in Öresund
This Hämeenmaa class ship can assume a relatively wide selection of roles, from light espionage- and minelayer ship to escort- and anti-submarine warfare ship. The Hämeenmaa class ships are according to Wikipedia "practically perfect for monitoring Russia's Baltic fleet".
Two days ago Uusimaa departed its home port Turku for a six week training mission. The next stop will be in Hamburg, where the ship is also due for some maintenance work.
