Swede, now living in Finland after 33 years in Hamburg, Germany.
Interested in photography, nature, ships, travel and so much more.
So, I finally left the other place, feels good😁

Last week I visited Riga for the very first time ( will not be the last) a city with many faces, from the picturesque old town it's only a few minutes walk to the central market. The market might look dull from the outside but it's a place where I could spend whole days.

In Helsinki we have the smallest hydroelectric plant I've ever seen, and it offers free mobile phone charging😀👍

More mushrooms, from todays walk in the woods. Lots of them but unfortunately I'm pretty sure they are not suitable for the frying pan🤔

#mushrooms #forest #nature
A group of young, fuzzy brown mushrooms with rounded caps emerging from a mossy forest floor. Might be young Honey Mushrooms (Armillaria genus). A wide shot of a forest floor showing several large clusters of light brown mushrooms with scaly caps growing around and on a tree stump. This is a very large group of Honey Mushrooms (Armillaria genus). A wet, shiny cluster of red-orange mushrooms growing on a mossy tree stump. It might be the Sheathed Woodtuft (Kuehneromyces mutabilis). A large cluster of brown and tan mushrooms with scaly caps growing on a moss-covered log. I think this is a type of Honey Mushroom (Armillaria genus).
