It's only fair

I went to a fair few weeks ago in Bucharest and found many interesting and, more or less, absurd things. Here's some view from that experience.

Titan Vice

Alright, folks!

First of all, put the video below to play, and then click on the photo. 

Watch that picture as long as the song lasts and let your imagination run free!

My hoods in Bucharest, Romania - Lacul Titan

Ich bin ein Hamburger

Alright, folks!

And now again some new stuff.

Few weeks ago I travelled to Germania to meet a good friend of mine.

On one day we went to Hamburg. 

Here's some evening shots from the streets. 

Monthly retrospective #5

Again is time for a peep into the archives of truly yours.

This is my 'official' self portrait, taken under the teaching of Mr. Lauri Asanti, 

back in Lahti Folk High School. 

Originally shot on 35mm b/w film - Autumn 2008

Ps. Kiitokset ja terkut Kerroskeksin väelle, erityisesti Emmille - olit tän kuvan muusa.

A Child's night

Alright folks!

We may consider this as a continuum to the earlier post "From dusk till dawn"

As we continue our travel from dusk, more towards night.

Location: Parcul Cișmigiu, București, Româniă.

                                              Time: After sunset

Ps. Thanks to Irina and Gaël

Monthly retrospective #4

Alright, folks!

It is again time for the lost treasures from my archive. 

Since I missed December and January, let February's retrospective be triple issue.

These photos are all originally shot on 35mm b/w film and are from my North Savonian era. 

"B**** better recognize!"

From the dusk till dawn

Alright, folks!

As in the previous episode was stated, Bucharest has snow.

Repeat: We have snow. 

Snow equals winter.

Winter + snow equals beautiful dusk.

Let's see if in the next episode we shall reach the dawn.

But here's the dusk. Enjoy!

Black crows conquered the evening sky. Taken from my window.

"Casa de popului - The People's house"

Which castle is bigger?

Subzero vs Scorpion

Alright, folks!

Bucharest got snow. In fact, I think all Romania got snow, 

in a way which was even noticed in the Finnish press. (As the protests in Bucharest barely aren't..)

I'm happy my apartment's window gives me a good view. And hope in the future you, dear readers, will also be happy about it.  

It gives me such a view, from the 8th floor, that I can also at late night shoot people playing football. 

In the snow. In a subzero temperature.

For all my 'international' readers to be cleared: In Finland one of our national sports is to play football in a snowdrift. So that is also why I'm a bit surprised, and honestly amazed, that people do almost the same here in Romania. 

"Ils sont fous ces roumains!" 

Ps. Raise your hands, how many of you actually knew that the dog of Obelix is in english called 'Dogmatix'?

(Original French name Idéfix - same as in Finnish)

Have you seen these guys?

Alright, folks!

..Sorry for staying quiet (or blind) for a while. But here's new pictures. Taken in December.

Does anyone know who these guys are? 

I've heard that one of them is from France, second from Italy and third is from Spain. And that they were traveling to Budapest, Hungary, from Bucharest, Romania, with one guy from Finland. 

Nevertheless, I really haven't seen them since (as the same group).

Ps. The 2nd last photo won the Erasmus photo contest on FB, with pictures that best describes each's Erasmus experience. My experience: "A jump to unknown."

Thanks again for all likers!
