I was in Helsinki from Tuesday till Saturday – now back in Casablanca.

I was organizing things – we’re going to move back to Helsinki at the end of March.

There was still a lot of snow…

In Casa it was raining this morning but now the sky is blue again…

There are a zillion cats around looking for free dinner…

Abandoned houses, buildings are interesting objects to shoot pictures…

I had a technical problem from Sunday evening till Monday midday.

I was not able to read nor sign into my blogs,

you were not able to read/leave comments.

Now everything seems to be normal again.

It’s nice to be back!

The weather has been great to have long walks around the city…

Those ships were far, far away. That’s why these shots are not very sharp, sorry…

Hassan II Mosque, Casablanca, Morocco in Wikipedia

New and old, side by side…

This is how the new buildings look when ready…

What a view they have…open sea!

We had coffee with our little friend…

She’s a very strong little lady…squeezing my hubby’s hand…

“Oh, you adults are so boring! I like my own little world more!” thinks Lina, soon 6 months…

Have a great day everybody!

All these images were shot in September 2010

These I shot yesterday.

I guess this abandoned hotel in the heart of Casablanca has seen better days…

We had a long walk on Sunday.

Corniche Casablanca was too crowded

so we only went there to shoot pictures…

flowerpower in Casa – no snow! That’s positive

Too cold to swim…but nice to look and dream…

I have an obsession to shoot coffee pearls…

My regular readers know that we’re moving at the end of March.

I’ve started to pack already!

Or sort of.

I’ve checked so far all my make-ups – every single item. Half empties gone to rubbish.

Still a lot to do.

What you’ve been doing after holidays?

I can’t remember last time I’ve seen so much snow in Helsinki!

I shot a zillion pictures – here are a few of them.

These two pics were shot 19.12.2010

I wonder when this car will see daylight again…

I had a dinner at my mom’s home – it looked like it normally looks in Lapland!

It was beautiful and so QUIET!

Now I have to get used to our upstrair neighbour’s lifestyle again.

Early morning walking with high heels, kids playing and running,

cleaning lady pulling and pushing furniture…

Barking dogs, speeding vehicles, honk, honk, honk…

I try to think positive – only three months to suffer!

bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrr – it’s cold in Helsinki!

Today it was about +1 C / 33.8 F

and windy…

This is how the Helsinki central railway station looked today at midday

Atlantic Ocean – Casa, Morocco…

Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones.

- William Shakespeare -

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

- Kahlil Gibran -

We are tied to the ocean.

And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch -

we are going back from whence we came.

- John F. Kennedy -

Even Castles made of sand, fall into the sea, eventually.

- Jimi Hendrix -

With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take,

you’re connected to the sea.

No matter where on Earth you live.

- Sylvia Earle -

We had a long – and slow – walk at the weekend.

It was slow because I had my camera with me!

When was the last time you sharpened you knives?

whipped cream anyone?

wordless Wednesday (and Thursday) in Casablanca, Morocco…
