bike to work


Way to work : 7 km of track in park and abandoned forest, going along the bird natural reserve. Strong yellow colour, it is melancholia time. Above some geese formation do their test flights in the sky before definitely take off for a better climate. Almost alone, cars are rarely seen from this track, I know why I like the place.

Pöyrällä!

A bike, a tent, a cooking stove and the best company. What else is needed for a very free life? Aland, Vardö, Brändö, Kustavi, Iniö, Houstkär, Korpo, Turku, a bunch of ferries, warm water full of hauki and greasy donnuts.Ah and I forget sauna, songs, games and sun.

Post industrial pizza

Helsinki 2050, we are in a post apocalyptical world. Some survivors gather around a primitive oven to make some food. Wood has been found far away from the remaining of the city, ingredients are pizza dough and seagull: seagull pizza. Some survivors also take a bath in the contaminated water around the old coal power plant. Its cadmium content is believed to have some positive effect on the skin. 05.07.2011.

Time to grow blue potatoes...


Somebody looking for a placement in glass making find something in a lost village, Nutaajärvi, where they blow glass since te 18th century. By chance, a very open minded traveller host her in the country side in a house full of ghosts and humour. Small coincindences lead me to spend a week end feeding mosquitoes there and enjoying to swim in a beautiful lake and in another one, but a poetic one. In the latter, the water was of a deep orange and swimming under the water lead to a orange hands appearing and disappearing. I also got some pride in driving a tractor and planting potatoes with the help of J. and T. 12.06.2011

Pour un été un soleil

L'été venu, un des oiseaux qui vient peuplé la Finlande est la sterne arctique ou tiira comme on l'appelle par ici. Ce petit oiseau est un spectacle permanent, il longe le bord de mer, scrute le fond de l'eau en vol stationnaire jusqu'à ce qu'il se laisse tomber en plongeant sur un poisson. J'ai passé des heures à sentir la douceur du soleil sur mon visage, emmitouflé dans ma veste à cause du vent qui ne faiblit jamais et pour ne pas m'ennuyer dans ces moments, j'observe une sterne, son vol extrêmement habile, sa coupe qui ressemble à celle d'un planeur avec des attributs d'hirondelle.

Un jour que je voulais en avoir le coeur net, j'ai recherché son nom sur internet et où elle allait l'hiver. Ces sternes sont amoureuses du soleil et elles ne rechignent pas devant une migration qui les mène jusqu'au pôle sud des que l'été est fini au nord. Pour vivre deux étés par ans, la sterne fait chaque année le tour de la Terre et fait ainsi un équivalent Terre-Lune dans sa vie.
