Summer Night City
























A warm summer night in Turku, taken from a bicycle seat. The city was teeming with first year students doing their silly initiation rituals. Yes, none of that is visible on the pictures, so I added this narration. As usual, click on picture to enlarge.

Dusk doodles















The hour before sunset gives a quite nice palette of colours, both bright and soft. One just needs to be quick. No multi-second exposure times here.

Topias Tiheäsalo and Jaakko Tolvi
















Topias Tiheäsalo and Jaakko Tolvi performing an unusually noisy drone set at B-Galleria in Turku. I guess that's what performing with Tommi Keränen does to you: He makes it look like fun.
I happened to drag my mother there, expecting a quiet and refined experimental gig - like Topias solo or Jaakko with his brother in Lauhkeat Lampaat - so I was relieved beyond words when she actually enjoyed it. Glad to know that passing 60 does not close one to new experiences!

Return of the Dark Night












The worst of midsummer is done here in southern Finland, so it is finally almost dark at midnight and I can do some painting with street lights again before I go to bed. I will probably get lynched by the natives for saying it, but I'm looking forward to winter.
