Time for some more Autumn foliage photography, this time featuring the Gabriella. For a history of the ship, see this entry, and for my thoughts on the ship's design, see this entry. The photographs below show the ship departing Helsinki on the afternoon of 3 October 2012, passing through the Kustaanmiekka strait and further on outside the city. Click on the images to see them in larger size.

| It initially seemed that Gabriella would sail through the strait without any direct sunlight on her, but I was in luck and just as the ship was coming into the strait the sun came out. |
 |
| Panoramic foliage... |
 |
| ...and dynamic Gabriella. |
 |
| Quite possibly my greatest photo of all time. Or one of them, anyhow. |
 |
| Just look at those trees on the left. |
 |
| Further panoramica. |
 |
| Soon at the Harmaja lighthouse, with the smaller lighthouse-thingy in the foreground displaying some rather fine urban art. |
