The doors

Helsinki, Main railway station. 31.12.2008

If it were just an ordinary day, I would say that here is an old lady opening a heavy door to the station. But because it's the New Year's Eve, I guess there must be something symbolic as well.

Magpie

Helsinki, Vallila. 30.12.2008

Outdoors again! Saw this magpie on the courtyard. Did it get free too? What is the iron loop hanging there - a trap.

Bed

Helsinki, at home. 29.12.2008

Flu continues, and I have read some thrillers and detective stories. This was special; critical about the capitalist system which makes people redundant quite shamelessly. 4.1. I heard the news that Donald E. Westlake has died at the age of 75.

Rosebud

Helsinki, at home. 28.12.2008

Indoors, at home. The rose was a present, some thorns there too.

Curtain

Helsinki, at home. 27.12.2008

Christmas present I did not wish - a flu. First feeling a cactus in the throat, then the rest of the symptoms. Have to stay in bed.

Black & white

Helsinki, at home. 26.12.2008

The black kitchen roll is a Christmas present. Looks cool, but a little bit ominous too. I wonder if one can use the paper as a handkerchief. Well, another friend got a roll of black toilet paper.

Christmas Eve

Helsinki, Töölönlahti. 24.12.2008

Cigar

Helsinki, Vallila. 24.12.2008

Pre-Christmas Eve eve chez a neighbour. To celebrate R. lighted a huge Cuban cigar. I went home, he stayed because the smoke took some time.

Calendar

Helsinki, Vallila, 23.12. 2008

I belonged to "the zero-fuss, free website that lets anyone join in and publish one photo a day".
The site tourned sour; in fact I was suspended because of my opinions. I continue here on daily basis, even if I know that I'm mostly talking to myself.
