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.

C'est un fameux trois mats fin comme un oiseau...

Some sailing boats on the aurajoki in Turku... 28.08.2011

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
