Costumed Picasso in Helsinki

August 12, 2012 Leave a comment

Across Europe, in all the major cities, you will find some people in eye catching costumes according to a certain theme offering themselves to be photographed by and with tourists for a small fee in return. In the above picture, I observed this man dressed as Picasso and he stood on this small podium for hours and hours amazingly without moving more than posing for a picture for tourists who paid a Euro or for blocking other tourists like me from photographing him.

This picture was taken when I was in Helsinki, Finland last year. This was outside the Cathedral.

I love reading science, philosophy, literature and fiction, psychology, biographies, history, leadership, etc. I am a habitual reader and not a single day passes by without me having read at least a page out of any one of my hundred plus book collection. My favorite works being the complete collection of Sherlock Holmes as well as the complete Jeeves and Wooster series by PG Wodehouse. Reading is a part of me that I can never let go and so most of my blogs would be based on ideas that I got from reading. Photography is also one of my hobbies and I love clicking pictures of the places that I visit. I will be uploading some of my favorite pictures in my blog as well.
