  • Another Sunday, another walk. Checked out a side of Mon that I haven’t seen before and this time the visit was quite uneventful. No breaking ice (mostly because I didn’t step on any ice), no stinging bees. But it took me a while to get used to the crunchy sound under my boots, because the…

  • My new neighbours have a dog outside that rather annoyingly barks every time I walk by. So I thought, maybe I could make the dog get used to me and went up to the enclosure. Initially it was all good, the dog was sniffing my hand just like dogs do. And then it started growling…

  • Some of my summer flowers are still standing, yay! (And that was sarcasm, in case you didn’t catch it.) (So was that.)

  • Ice is alive. Changes in the temperature and changes in the water level shape the ice and make it change its structure. As I was watching the ice here, I saw the white part moving… the ice is layered and there’s water in between layers that slowly flowed so the white part was changing shape. The…

  • It’s another dark day, but now it’s quite windy as well. Apparently there’s a storm on the way, but it looks like it’s gonna hit the south of Sweden only so no worries up here. Anyway, it seemed utterly pointless to go out with the big camera to search for the 365 so I took this snap…

  • A sunny day for a change. And cold…. or rather, I was woefully underdressed. I was in a hurry to get back in the office!

  • If yesterday’s plans didn’t work out, I can’t really cheer for today’s plans either. I was going to meet my friend again in the afternoon and he would then take me to the airport, but things happened and he couldn’t make it and I was already sitting on the train so I couldn’t spend the…

  • It’s the Finnish Independence Day and my plan for the 365 was to shoot the flag of Finland, seeing it that it will be hanging from every flagpole today. But what I didn’t see coming was the dismal weather and the fact that I didn’t actually get close enough to any flagpoles today. Then I…

  • Exciting day! This is why I came to Finland this time, to see Kaija Koo in concert in Helsinki Arena! I have actually never been a big fan of Finnish music and I’ve never followed a Finnish artist, except Kaija Koo. Always eagerly awaiting for the next album, sometimes a little bit disappointed by it…
