EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Suomenlinna Church in Finland. The church, originally built as an Eastern Orthodox garrison church for Russian troops stationed at the Suomenlinna sea fortress in 1854, stands proudly against a backdrop of gray overcast skies. In the foreground, parked bicycles add a touch of everyday life to this historic scene. As visitors explore this UNESCO World Heritage site, they can easily navigate through the archipelago on two wheels, immersing themselves in both nature and culture. Suomenlinna itself is a remarkable place - a sea fortress spread across six islands that now form part of Helsinki, Finland's capital city. This unique fusion of history and modernity is beautifully captured by photographer Dmitri Korobtsov. The autumn season adds warmth to the image with its golden hues reflected in the grassy surroundings. The building exterior showcases stunning Scandinavian architecture while blending harmoniously with its natural surroundings. As you gaze upon this photograph, you are transported to a place where time seems to stand still - where ancient fortifications coexist with contemporary bicycle parking stations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and development, there are places where history remains alive and vibrant. Whether you have visited Suomenlinna or dream of exploring it one day, this print allows you to bring home a piece of Finnish charm and immerse yourself in its rich cultural heritage.
