The last time the Silja Serenade was featured in this blog was in winter photos. Today we continue with a "four seasons" theme, with the same ship photographed departing Helsinki in Autumn foliage last week.

| I was tempted to go out on this particular day due to the beautiful weather, even if the only ships to photograph were the regulars Silja Serenade and Gabriella... |
 |
| But alas, just as the Serenade was coming to the Kustaanmiekka strait, the sun was obscured by a cloud. |
 |
| Not that these would be bad photographs, but if the light had lasted, these would have been downright orgastic images. |
 |
| Although I complained about the cloud obscuring the sun, those clounds in the background were pretty neat... |
 |
| A little bit of sun there... and the advertized Autumn foliage too. |
 |
| Even better as far the foliage goes. |
 |
| Unusually, the Serenade departed via the Porkkala shipping lane rather than the open-sea lane. That, combined with the low sun, game some rather superb photo opportunities. |
 |
| No comment needed, really. |
