Sub24 in the snow

A taste of expedition on Friday after work. Going to Nuuksio with camping equipment on the bike on the snow. Delightful. Nuuksio was very lonely that night, but glögi cheered us up. 15.12.2012

In the country of long shadows

A train trip to Savonlinna in January. Frosty landscape, steaming lake, long shadows. Thank you to Seppo and Ulla for hosting us and showing us agian the delight of Saimaa lake. 13.01.2013

  

Hunting for the sun in December

We went for a hunt that day of December. We managed to catch it and shot it (with camera) from the shore by Kaivopuisto. The view never let me down from there, especially at winter! 02.12.12

Sailing cancelled.

For the last day of November, a pikkujoulu was planned on board of Valborg. Unfortunately, the wind and waves kept us ashore. So instead of sailing, we made some rope work, salted the deck, saved some small boats that were taking water and plainly froze in the blizzard. That was an exciting Friday night for sure. 30.11.2012

Kaisaniemen yliopisto kirasto

I paid a visit to the newly renovated university library in Kaisaniemi. The result is quite inspiring,  large spaces, large windows, quiet. I made some good work there. Probably the view on the ragging storm Antti from the peace of the library added a lot to my experience. By the way, this is what a first day of snow looks like in Helsinki.

Juhannus 2012 - Saint Jean

It is Juhannus again. A day to remember that in the first place and until today we are worshiping the sun. So for a night, everybody try to be in the country side, close to our so-called roots, and drink together while waiting for a dusk that won't come that day. And make a large bonefire, the kokko, to burn any bad thoughts left from the winter night.

Excellent time on Valborg. Some beautiful weather, some cold drizzle, some castle island, some alias and trivial poursuite in Finnish. Thank to the Valborg crew to make this possible. 23.06.2012

It wouldn't go any darker than that.
