Counting the steps of the sun

There are a many fields of sunflowers in Finland. The best thing is that you don't have to go far to find one, this field of flowers was only a few steps from work. You're technically supposed to pay to pick these flowers... but yeah. In Helsinki, you can pick sunflowers and beans for free though :)


Ah! Sunflower
By William Blake

Ah! Sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller's journey is done;

Where the youth pined away with desire,
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves and aspire;
Where my sunflower wishes to go.
