On the Street. Never Ending November, Lauttasaari, Helsinki

Street Style Helsinki. Protecting against rain.

This year in Helsinki the winter has not been the same as it used to be. No frost, no snow. Mostly only grey days, rain and wind.

I have seen this character on my home street regularly walking head down, hood on the head, no face to see, dressed in totally black protective equipment to fight against the somewhat hostile weather type. Slowly walking to the seashore and back.

I admit. The feeling is like never ending November has hit this corner of the world, Helsinki. Is this the future along with the climate change? Just thinking…

On the Street. Beanieboy in Metro, Helsinki.

Street style Helsinki. Boy in a metro.

I traveled in a metro and opposite to me stood this guy leaning to a handrail. There was something, maybe the simplicity of his style, that triggered this drawing. Maybe the personal touch in his style was the wide bootcut jeans, while many men goes in slim jeans. The unusual little thing.
