From a quiet, windswept island...


to the comforts of a cosy café...


, the makings of a pretty good Sunday.

So beautiful. I'd love to know where the coffee shop is...

Hymy said...

Ihania kuvia!

Menthe Blanche said...

Wonderful icy and cozy pictures!

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

Thank you tinajo
- I'd heard about the café but had never been there before
and instantly realised I'd been missing out on something already :)

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

A rather simple but perfect Sunday combo,
thank you for your words, x

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

The ice does look quite scary,
but it's actually the result of ice breakers
that clear the way for ferries and boats.
But trekking on a little ferry with the noise of
broken ice churning down below brings its atmosphere :)

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

Thank you, x - the café is Johan&Nyström in Katajanokka, Helsinki,

Kiitokset Hymy, <3

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

I think that's one nice thing about winter,
the really cosy feeling inside afterwards!

Hyvät tunnelmat, Rebecca! Ihailen sitä, kuinka olet saanut tuossa tasaisen harmaassa säässä noin mukavan näköistä tunnelmaa kuviisi.

Merja said...

Ihanat nuo kierreportaat! Ja tuo kahvila pitää käydä joskus tsekkaamassa... hmm... koskahan tässä taas Helsinkiin ehtisi?

Again You take us to a beautiful places!You got very well the message: Very cold outside, but very warm inside the house , and I like this contrast in Scandinavia

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

Thank you for your kind words
- shall we swap landscapes for a while? :)
Take care, x

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

Kiitokset armas
- nii-in, tämä tasainen harmaa...
tosin Suomenlinnassa on ehkä juuri harmaana päivänä ihan paras tunnelma muutenkin :)

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

Ensi kerralla suuntaat ehdottomasti tuonne kahville,
olen varma, että tykkäät!

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

Thank you Anci,
it's an island just off Helsinki
called Suomelinna in Finnish, Sveaborg in Swedish.
If you happen to be in Helsinki one day,
you can hop on a ferry at the main market square,
so worth a visit!

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

Thank you so much Liz, x

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

Merci, Nell, x

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

Take care, x

Rebecca / Sanctuary said...

Thank you LurdeLinhas!
I think that's exactly how it is.
Despite the cold winter temperatures
luckily the houses are built to stay warm and cosy inside.
Have a lovely week, x

Anci said...

Maybe I will visit Helsinki soon, if it's that fine :)
