Out and about

Sitting at the computer right now, I'm enjoying music drifting in from my neighbor across the street. They are having a party, plenty of cars parked out... birthday, confirmation or engagement party? Could be any of those, really. I'll have to ask when I see them next. But they do have someone with a great voice playing the guitar, right now it's a song by Eagles. Makes me smile... unexpected moments like these.
I was going to walk to the grocery store, but now I think I'll wait a bit.
And enjoy.

And type :)
I was downtown yesterday with my camra in tow to see if I could find bits that felt like Helsinki to me during Helsinki Day. I found out I'm one picky photographer. The spots where the people were weren't talking to me at all. I either had to look up:

..or venture into the sidestreets.

I was taking this photo and it made an old lady stop and start looking at the wall.. and then me.. in confusion..
I left her guessing ;)
And smiled as I walked away.


Just a few steps away I found this gate.
I've no idea if the lady was still looking at me...


One of my favorite things in town are our green trams.

Inside too.

Now the song is Suspicious Minds.. and it's two guys with guitars.

I need to take my camera into town more often. Especially to the sidestreets. And high points. As we have no skyscrapers the city is defined by church steeples. Take the girls with me, plan a route to include an icecream kiosk, and shoot pictures with Saara. Haul my big ass zoom along.

Switched to a Chris Isaak song... good tunes.. beats the radio hands down. Nice harmony here. Wish you could here this with me.

Mika went to pick up the girls, they'll be home in three hours or so.

It'll be nice to have then home again. Although I have enjoyed the quietness of the house, the wind and birds have been my radio.

Lay down Sally...

Fixing tupos here. hah. Ridiculous how many I make.

On the road again...

Do I have you singing along yet?

Dancing in the dark..

*grin*

When you read this leave me a note on your favorite summer tune.

I'll have to insist.

Because I know Laura isn't the only person reading...

Would a little prize make you show yourself?

Well why not?

It's time for a little summer blog fun.

I'll add a picture of the prize tomorrow, I'll keep this open for a week.

For me... anything by The Eagles.
