Hyvinkää/Hyvinge New Church

On the way to friends in Hämeenlinna on Tuesday, we stopped in Hyvinkää, which is in the same direction. We had some errands to take care of. We don’t go to Hyvinkää very often and have not been there for about the last two-three years. This time we happened to park the car practically out side the church. The church was built in 1961. The Pyramid-like Church always looks beautiful all year round. But, photos taken on sunny winter days with blue skies are my absolute favorite ones. Also on Tuesday it was sunny and blue skies. A perfect opportunity to take some photos.

Old and New Church

On Saturday 5th we, once again, visited my childhood friend. On the way home I suggested a stop at the churches in Sipoo/Sibbo. I have wanted to photograph them already for a long time. The old grey stone church was built in the 1450s and the new one was built in 1883-1885. We have been inside the new church when our friends were married there about 50 years ago.

Oh dear ! Nothing is like before. It really took me awhile to figure out how to do it 😉
