Photo Blog With Music :)

Although this is meant to be a photo blog I just have to post this, I totally fell in love with this song -thanks to my cousin who linked it on Facebook! Hope you like it too, enjoy!

Planning: London and Stockholm

On my autumn break I went to London and that story and those nice pictures will still have to wait a while... I'm pretty busy with work these days, hoping it will get a bit easier in the next few weeks (when exam week number II is done).

Tomorrow I'm leaving to Stockholm with Pictura! Awesome! We're going to the Stockholm Photo Fair and doing some other cool stuff, too. The fair is not my favorite thing, but I'm looking forward to seeing some nice photos and presentations - and the museums, coffee shops, shopping, etc... Excited! Take a look how it looked and what we did last year, you can find the story here!

And PS: can't believe it's been a year already! :/  
Yikes. Time really does fly...

Pirates of the Archipelago :)

Here are some photos that were taken on my small sailing trip with the Swedish brig "Tre Kronor". Princess Victoria of Sweden and her spouse prince Daniel were in Turku for an official meet n' greet in September. They faked their "sailing" to Turku, but I guess it was a fancier way to arrive... Read more about it in my previous post.

So, me and my colleague took the opportunity to sail on Princess Victoria's ship. It was the last perfect day of autumn, take a look!

We were met with a happy Swedish flag!

BW photo of Turku's most important industry: ship building.

Wärtsilä is a big Finnish company. They build ships and engines and stuff:)

Ship's bell, detail. Learn more about it here.

It was cold outside so it was nice to have hot coffee and treats.
(Princess crown was napkin accessory on the table;)

One photoshopped test photo.

Hard working sailors!

This is what they're supposed to look like.

Photo-au-naturel aka no editing.

Sneak photo. I like it a lot! Man and daughter looking at cruise ship going to Turku harbor.

Me and some of the crew. Can't remember the boys' names, but the girl was Amanda.

Detail.

Ruissalo (where they have Finland's oldest music festival) looked like it was on fire!

The sky is hostile. The geese flee.

An old ship, now transformed to a hostel. Bore.
Love the nostalgic, vintage soft lines of the ship!

The pride of the Finnish Navy, Swan of Finland (Suomen Joutsen). 

Learning nerdy stuff

I don't know what I would do without Internet! I've learnt so much on my own. This proves that if you're motivated, you will search for information and try your best at applying this knowledge. Live and learn, baby!

Just recently I've learnt how to take screenshots with my MacBook Pro. I love my Mac!

Photo evidence: This is what leads people to my blog!
"Top search results" are still quite modest, but yeah. Anyways.
Why did you come here!? 

Not enough distance

I sometimes 
              too often I believe
torture myself with 
strange old pain
  hurt and 
     with what some call memories


I see over my shoulder
                                           it's all very far away now 
vaguely reachable
    can't remember what I thought
but almost instantly I  ---




            not enough distance.
