Weekly photo challenge is a new exercise in improving my photography skills and imagination. Every week I’ll be posting photos in response to a prompt. Let’s see where this challenge takes me 🙂
This week’s prompt is curve. I think it’s in human nature to prefer and to chose simple things over complicated. Same goes for photography. Straight lines are easy to spot and to capture. Curves are trickier. They take more space, they tend to look different on the photo compare to how you see it in a real life. Also, they are much more fun to deal with 🙂
The first curve photo is from Helsinki, Finland. A lot of old houses in Helsinki have a name. This one is from Tehtaankatu, and its name is Koivu, which means a birch tree. It was built in 1904, and designed by Paul Björk.
And the second curve is from Rio de Janeiro. We were on our way to the top of the mountain and about to see the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer, while breathtaking views opened on the left and on the right. It’s hard to not go full crazy and start taking photos of everything you see 🙂

Ooh the view of Rio de Janeiro is so gorgeous! I’ve never stumbled upon the house called Koivu, will keep a lookout for it. 🙂

This is what I love about Helsinki most – that there are endless opportunities to re-discover it 🙂

Thank you, Yousuf, for your kind words and for following my blog 🙂 P.S. The real challenge for me when I’m taking pictures is to figure out when to stop taking photos and to enjoy the moment and when it’s ok to go full speed 🙂

Lovely photos. I love especially Rio photo. Did You visit to Penedo when in Brazil. It is a must-place for us Finns. I have visited there twice in the seventies. If You are interested in Penedo, then at the end of this post I have links to it in many languages.

Thank you! No, I actually didn’t know about that place at the time of our visit, but a month later I met in Helsinki a Brazilian woman with Estonian-Finnish roots, and she told me about Penedo 🙂 Thank you for the links – very interesting reading! Have a nice day too 🙂
