Winter comes at merikarvia

Merikarvia first week-end of the winter. Spend mostly at watching the ice forming, breaking it to go for a last trip with the rowing boat and for the dip after sauna.06.06.2012

Back on tracks

Magical winter. White thick coat, trees loaded with snow. Family are outside on ski, direction: an old kahvila (maunulan maja) full of tasty pastries. 29.01.2012.

Ravintola päivä

A fantastic idea: a guy organized a restaurant day in Finland. Everybody can open a restaurant for one day, without licence. Wherever and whichever concept. It turned out to be a huge succes, repeated 3 times in a year and the guy was acknowledged to be "Helsinki citizen of the year".

Below some guys thought: Hey why not make a huge soup of suppilovavero (chantrelle grise ou à tube) next to my tugboat-home by Suomenlinna? Ah and indeed we set up the tent sauna for the customer!

Pêche et tradition

Les plaisirs très simples de ce bas-monde. Partir deux heures sur une barque sur la mer. Lancer sa ligne encore et encore plein d'espoir. Sentir le vent de mer. L'excitation quand un poisson a bien voulu mordre, la bataille qui s'ensuit. 

Et puis la préparation, nettoyer ça. Qu'est-ce qu'ils sont beaux d'ailleurs ces poissons. Et finalement couper du bois pour chauffer le fumoir à poisson.

WWWOUUUAAWW!

There is a place that everybody in Helsinki visit once a year: Linnanmäki. Nobody would miss that. A very beautiful ride can be made on the roller coaster. Pictures taken the last day of the season at the occasion of the Linnanmäen valokarnevaali. 15.10.2011.

 

Back on sea.

Some awsome old wood sailing ships racing in front of Helsinki. For the silakkamarkkinat.  Big thanks to Valborg crew! 08.10.2011

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.
