Travel Photography | 5. Farewell pictures

Helsinki, Finland

Just received a fresh batch of farewell pictures taken by my dear friend Matti, who is also a fantastic photographer (velimatti.fi).

Here are some of the best:

Family and close friends gather one more time to enjoy the lunch before my personal exodus.

The international train from Helsinki to Moscow is about to depart.

My father.

My mother and my middle brother.

I think maybe my brother was giving me some advice, can't really remember anymore :)

The conductor is so cool.

Happy leaver.

Mother cried, I cried. It was touching.

I have a picture of my grandpa getting on a train similar to this homage.

My cousin (red cap) and my youngest brother.

Final farewells and I'm off.

Goodbye Finland, hello world!
