Lasten kaupunki

 

Lasten kaupunki (Sederholmin talo) was opened to the general public one week ago.

Really a great place & worth visiting with children. 

The entrance is free also.

Windows

The city is full of houses and from each window, the landscape is different.

Evening walk

Moonlit evening, silver clear
and the night’s blue billows,
sparkling waves, numberless,
follow one another.
Shadows fall along the path,
on the shore the bushes softly weep,
black giants guard its silver in their keep.

(Edith Södergran: Nocturne)

Shades of neon

90's is perhaps one of the most inspiring decades:
strange enough but well-known enough, still  living and alive in memories.

Seven years (and forever)

A beautiful evening with a cup of espresso and shared memories.

past meets present, present meets future

There are moments when one has to return to places where past meets present and the present meets future. Today meets yesterday when places full of memories are being revisited. Only the change is present, there are so many things that have changed and will change. So many stories that could be told.

These landscapes have changed and so have I. But the sun was shining and bright, just as it has been a decade ago. Co-creating Cable Factory with Legos was absolutely amazing, I also liked 24hours+ Taipei.  When the day turned towards evening, we bought the very last ice creams of summer and took the tram towards home.

saturday in the city

late summer is always lovely in helsinki. there is something special in the air, a feeling of nostalgia and something new, when everything slowly turns towards autumn and winter.

p.s. hi design 2012 open until 2.9.2012.

Last days of summer

It is time to say goodbye - the summer is almost gone.
A summer which I did not notice at all...
Saturday was perhaps the last day of summer, now it's freezing cold already.
We visited Korkeasaari zoo, there were also nice urban farming experiments.
