You know how sometimes your memory plays tricks on you? How you think some things were better than they actually were. I was just listening to a podcast about the Anatomy of Hangovers from Stuff to Blow Your Mind and at one point they mentioned almost the same thing in the section as to why even though after a terrible hangover we swear we're never doing it again but eventually in our mind we create this awesome image of the party we attended because it must have been awesome because otherwise we wouldn't have had a hangover, etc. Well, actually my very few hangovers are not associated with awesome parties so really the link between my point and the podcast is really just in my head but bear with me... So anyway, up to a few minutes ago in my mind I had this image of this one great photo from Hämeenlinna I remember taking. Top stuff. Hight of an art, etc. I just opened the said photo, posted just below, and honestly it's not at all like what I remember seeing the first time around when I downloaded the photos to my computer. I wish it had stayed forever as this glorious awesomely awesome photo in my head. It had better colours, it had more contrasts, it had more a film-like feeling to it. Technically speaking I could try to turn it into the photo from my dreams by photoshopping it but my laziness and certain disappointment are stopping me for some reason. *shakes fist at the world* ![]() Right. So how's your Friday morning otherwise? |
October, October, that was so last year! (PS: Dear Helsinki, in case you haven't noticed, I'm back and this time ready for that real winter... so enough with the slush, bring on the real deal and the -25C! For real, the 2C +/-3 aren't that funny anymore.) ![]() ( +9 - switching colours and all that jazz ) |
![]() On a quiet Saturday morning in October... ( +11 - sunshine, boat rides and breakfasts ) |
All roads lead to the sea. Or at least to the lake. If you're going in the right direction. ![]() ( +5 - some more Hämeenlinna adventures - this time with catapults! ) |
![]() They decorate with strange things up north. ( +8 - berries, cans, knives, lamps ) |
![]() Who would have thought that lighting a smoke sauna after a couple of wet days would be rather hard? I'm saying this but then again I didn't do much to help besides striking the matches because apparently not everyone is gifted in that area. ( +2 ) |
Mornings - that time of that many people prefer to ignore. For me it's the best time of day. No one around, especially on week-ends and in crowded houses.![]() Back in the time when it was light already before 9am. ( +5 - morning around that giant cottage thing ) |
On a Friday evening, from Helsinki to somewhere a little bit north of Hämeenlinna, to meet up with about fifty crazy peeps for Halloween at one rather huge cottage (apparently it was built to be used in some kind of survival of the fittest game show). Normal Halloween parties are so yesterday! ![]() ( +7 - this and that from that first night ) |
