Gate of happiness

Happiness has all the patterns of success and happiness. After this port you decide to open: you get it all! Turku Cathedral, the only one in Finland a cathedral and a large ecumenical church which is open daily from 9am to 6pm. There are, in a way, like "branches" in Italian churches small chapels with iron lattice gates. I took this inspiration for these stories, these gates and their patterns. Turku Cathedral is an incredible touch of history and also of today   point of view. When I visited New Zealand, there was a whole history 150 years away, but Turku Cathedral will be 800 years old !!! We Finns have reason to be proud! For real!
