makroviikko / macro week challenge #49   

 

teema/theme: pakkanen / below zero

 

macro week challenge 'below zero' by BLOGitse

 

Jäähän on pakkasessa, eikö? :)

 

 

Actually a Finnish word ‘pakkanen’ means the weather outside,

‘cold, frosty, below zero, chilly, freezing…’

in Finnish we have one word for it ‘pakkanen’ – very easy!

 

 

 ps. I’ll continue DIGITAL FUN CHALLENGE

example here

starting on Monday 5.3.2012

If you have any ideas let me know please!

- how many days each challenge should be open?

- weekly or twice per month?

- what time would be good for opening/closing?

- would you like to know new theme beforehand?

I’ll post about this again at the weekend…

 

 

ps. Jatkan yllämainittua haastetta maanantaista alkaen.

Jos teillä on toiveita, ideoita, kertokaa pliiis!

Entä kuinka kauan haasteen pitäisi olla auki?

Onko viikottainen haaste ok vai harvemmin?

Mikä olisi hyvä avaamis/sulkemisaika?

Haluaisitteko tietää teemat etukäteen aina kunkin postauksen lopuksi?

Muita ajatuksia?

Palaan aiheeseen viikonlopun postauksessa…

Greetings from San Francisco!

 

This time I didn’t shoot as many pictures as usually -

Now back at home and finally feeling better…

more women…

Friday, July 9th, 2010
women…‘ was posted here 6.7.2010 – they were inside but these women…
oh, they stand outside and they rock! You agree?! :)
My advice to those who think they have to take off their clothes to be a 
star is, once you’re boned, what’s left to create the illusion? Let em wonder. 
I never believed in giving them too much of me.
- Mae West

Every woman is a rebel, and usually in wild revolt against herself.
- Oscar Wilde

For any woman to success in American life she must first do two things: 
Prepare herself for a profession, and marry a man who wants her to succeed 
as much as she does.
- Cathleen Douglas

Figure out who you are separate from your family, and the man or woman you’re in a relationship with. Find who you are in this world and what you need to feel good alone. I think that’s the most important thing in life. 
Find a sense of self because with that, you can do anything else.
- Angelina Jolie 

I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. 
The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

WOMEN ROCK!
