The Road

No, I have not been reading Jack Kerouac lately. Just felt like posting this one.

Autumn

The line

Delicious lines in this pedestrian tunnel! This was in Tampere in late August.

New angle

I quite enjoy the challenge of trying to find new angles to places that are very familiar. This metro station definitely is very familiar to me, being the one closest to me and therefore the one I go through just about every time I go to the city.

The Modern Confusion

Early autumn light

Not a bad day today, not a bad day at all. I went to Vuosaari, on the eastern shores of Helsinki. I managed to find enough chantarelles for dinner. Then I had coffee and pancakes with whipped cream and strawberry jam in Cafe Kampela (flounder) by the harbour. Coming back home, I had a hot bath, throwing in the water some of the bath pearls my sister gave me. In the end I forgot to eat the mushrooms for dinner but did prepare them later. Fried in butter until all the liquid evaporated, a bit of herbal salt. Ate on toasted rye bread. Heavenly!

Just a couple of shots I liked. Taken last sunday when my brother and younger nephew visited and we were down in the playground in the yard.

Today was actually my birthday but I didn't do anything special, because I have a dentist's appointment in the morning at 8.15. Consequently I decided to move any birthday things to friday or the weekend. I don't have anything major planned, maybe go out for a drink with my sister; or go to Tallinn on the weekend. Or both.

I really should be in bed already due to the early rise, but I needed to get my hair dry after my bath. If only I could've got the dental check at the local health station just across the road instead of the neighbouring district. I could've slept an hour later!
