The Visitor

This is a review. A review in pictures. In pictures that are not from the exhibition. This is me subconsciously looking for the house. The sounds. The emotions. This is the party in my head. So, please, if you see only one exhibition this fall/winter in Helsinki, make it Ragnar Kjartansson's "The Visitors" at Kiasma. Take your time, take your 64 minutes (or a bit more if you feel like you need to see/hear your favourite spot again... it can happen). I took those photos (among many others) a few days after seeing (read: experiencing) the exhibition around Töölönlahti and Vallila. Autumn foliage is the best. As are old villas. And on the pic above you can also get a tiny glimpse of Ragnar's exhibition (read: Kiasma).

Week 41: (Speech) Bubbles

Listening: Twin Shadow

On 1 Jan 2019 I sat down at my kitchen table. I took 52 pieces of yellow paper and wrote down 52 random words. I rolled them up and tucked away in a Belgian cookie tin with nuns on it. Every week I take out one word and shoot accordingly.

Fog-icious

Foggy-fog-fog-fog. Absolutely one of the upsides of autumn. Those photos were taken one morning in Kamppi-Punavuori-Ullanlinna-Kaivopuisto. I was undoubtedly excited. In October 2018. Now I am waiting for Foggy-fog-fog-fog Day of 2019. It should be a thing. International holiday kind of thing. The adventure, it's within! (ah, bless those Hallmark inspirational moments)

Week 40: Valiant

Listening: Lou Reed

On 1 Jan 2019 I sat down at my kitchen table. I took 52 pieces of yellow paper and wrote down 52 random words. I rolled them up and tucked away in a Belgian cookie tin with nuns on it. Every week I take out one word and shoot accordingly.

Week 39: Art

Listening: alt-J

On 1 Jan 2019 I sat down at my kitchen table. I took 52 pieces of yellow paper and wrote down 52 random words. I rolled them up and tucked away in a Belgian cookie tin with nuns on it. Every week I take out one word and shoot accordingly.

Vilnius

Hello, autumn! Absolutely, undoubtedly when autumn begins one must travel back in time. To summer 2017 when I spent a mini-holiday in Vilnius, Lithuania. The main event was to see Foals play live . Which was awesome, but also - I am unintentional mosh-pit meets mystical manpower dances survivor. That was one insane audience. Mildly put. But you cannot see this here on this blog. You can see all the calm serene moments I had.

Clearly I have trouble choosing just a few favourite images. Especially as there was also all this street art. 

Sunset did its work - it filled the streets with its magic touch like there's no tomorrow.

Ah, even rain made the town look cool. 

Memories (as distorted as they are) can be the cosiest thing, especially when one's mouth is filled with peach flavoured condensed milk (yes, eating with a spoon straight from jar!). It's a delight brought by friend from her world travels. So on sugar high (which allegedly is a myth) I share a few more photos, so you would absolutely and completely convinced that Vilnius will also be your next summer holiday destination!
