::fallen::

you went to the beach in the late afternoon just before the sunset.

 you've been here once in the summer, though the place is the same but the scenery has totally changed

 the view of yellow leaves between the tree

 the view of the sea between the two bunches of yellow leaves

 it does make this place more colorful, and from here you walk towards the cafe

 the fallen red leaves are beautiful, although it's no longer a season to sit at the terrace, you still have to urge to get in there

but chairs are occupied by the foliage.
you met up with your client and her cute puppy for a long chat over a drink.  it's funny when you look back to your first arrival to helsinki for this project some time in early november last year.  the days were in constant darkness with the brightest gloomy grey at most.  people were as cool as ice and refused to speak a word of english.  it's one way communication from you to them.  as the weather warms up, people also warm up to you and two way dialogue established.  you get to know them more and by early summer you're invited to private homes, to secluded places for drinks, dinners and outing.
as the cycle closes itself, this trip is actually your last visit to helsinki for this client.  it's not a definite goodbye as you're probably required again as the project evolves, however you're alright to bid farewell for now as you're really not looking forward for the cold and dark wintry days in this country.
