This lady is one of the pioneers of modern microcomputing and the creator of the original ARM RISC processor.
The father of the family was sitting in the park, under a tree, with his brushes and watercolours and painting peacefully.
The older son behind him was painting, too.
Not wanting to disturb their work, I admired them silently.
A few minutes later though, I approached and asked for the father's permission to make a few photos. Then I asked permission of the mother as well.
Permission granted.

Henry and his family are visiting from Hong Kong.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong
Henry is an art teacher. He was invited to Finland to be one of the jurors in an art competition for students of art.
Iris is an architect and artist, too. Their two sons; Kenny, 8 y/o and Eugene, 6 y/o, have accompanied them on this trip.
Kenny was almost done with his painting, while Eugene had drawn the contour lines of the building with a pencil and had put his drawing pad in his mother's handbag.
I was deeply impressed by the children's art talents and had a long conversation with Iris about it.
Among other things, Iris told me about life in Hong Kong, which was all quite unknown to me, showing me simultaneously lots of pictures on her smartphone.
When Kenny was done with his painting, I asked him and Iris to pose for me in front of Café Kaapeli--the motive of his beautiful painting--which took him 2.5 hours to complete.

The family was scheduled to leave Finland the very next morning on their way to Croatia.
Safe travels and thank you. It was such a pleasure to meet you all :-)

Walks in foreign cities guarantee foreign sights, including the odd wall plaque such as this one. If you live there, it's just part of the background that goes unnoticed.
Unnoticed, that is, unless this plaque has to do with your line of work, in which case it speaks loud and clear.
"Kaapeli" means "cable" in Finnish. Somewhere in that word is the Latin capillus, or "hair," which is made up of caput (“head”) and pilus (“hair”).
The arrows on the plaque show how far away and/or down the cables are, presumably so one can find them or avoid them.
I wasn't able to decipher the initials, but I think they identify a utility. The "H" probably represents Helsinki.
Helsinki, Finland.

While I watched him work for a while, I noticed the little boy behind him who was painting, too.
