Description

"Jaguar Mark 2 in Porvoo, Finland" by Catherine Sherman.

A Jaguar Mark 2 car is parked on cobblestones in an alley in Porvoo, Finland. Raindrops spatter the car's beautiful exterior. A sign on the window states that this elegant car is for sale. The Jaguar Mark 2 is a medium-sized saloon car built from late 1959 to 1967 by Jaguar in Coventry, England.

Beyond is one of the red storehouses on the Porvoo River in Old Porvoo, Finland, are among the town's most photographed sights. Red ochre paint was used to paint the storehouses in the late 18th century in honor of King Gustav III's arrival.

Historically, Porvoo has been an important center of trade, and the storehouses were once used to store goods and produce, such as exotic delicacies from distant lands. The Porvoo River connects the town to the Gulf of Finland.

Porvoo is one of the six medieval towns in Finland, first mentioned as a city in texts from 14th century. In the Old Town, the district dating back to the time of Swedish rule, you can still sense the atmosphere of the medieval town. Porvoo was first granted town rights around 1380. Porvoo is on southern coast of Finland about 30 miles (50 km) east of Helsinki.
