Recently we received this amazing winter picture from Seppo Asikainen. As we only received a very small version we first thought it is a drawing or the result of a photoshop training sessions. As we were intrigued we asked Seppo to give us some explanation...:
This is what Seppo oanswered"The image is real. It has been photographed 27 February 2012 in Savonlinna, Finland. This castle is called "St Olaf's Castle" or in Finnish "Olavinlinna", and it is located in the center of the city of Savonlinna (south-east Finland). The castle is built on an island in the Kyrönsalmi strait that connects the lakes Haukivesi and Pihlajavesi. Photographer is Kimmo Taskinen from Helsinki.
I own this Chevrolet 1931 Coupe Sport car and I drove it in the morning to this place on the beach. There was a very dense fog and the image needed to be corrected somewhat with Adobe Photoshop. But everything isn the p[icture was there and nothing has been changed to that, all things are genuine. The car was sold new in Savonlinna and I have owned this car now for 40 years. It still is in original condition, and it is inspected with Finnish Veteran Car Club. I drive it every year."
Seppo, what an incredible picture! Doing justice to your fabulous preserved Chevy from Savonlinna.
