days before Xmas

 

  

Four days until Christmas,

packaging of presents* = done,

countless other things = undone.

However, I know that the true joy and peace will still come.

* Thanks Kierrätyskeskus, old newspapers and Stockmann Premiere mag for ideas & inspiration.

Let it snow

 

 

The snow has arrived yesterday.

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.

thinking pink

There are moments in life when a small touch of pink is just so delighting when combined with timeless black and white.

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)
