weekend photos #5 / sunrise, sailing ship, environmental art, icicles, snow, glitter, Hotel Katajanokka with a real cell

I was lucky to have camera with me on 28th of January at 8:34 am….

The sky was soooo beautiful!

We saw a lot last weekend with our friends from Sweden.

Sailing ship and ‘Where is my home?’, environmental art by

Kaarina Kaikkonen.

‘The piece tells a story about different kind of people and

states trying to live together, but it’s difficult…’

United States of Europe

A travelling exhibition about European identity and today’s Europe.

We had lunch at Restaurant Loiste. Do you remember this place?

In the evening we visited first time in the brand new Helsinki Music Centre.

It wasn’t a good idea to visit this Hotel Katajanokka‘s speciality before the concert in the evening…

This hotel used to be a prison…

Visiting this cell and listening horrible music made my friend feel so bad at the concert that

she almost got a heart attack.

I got terrible pain in my head.

Like someone was slowly tightening a metal band around my head.

Never again contemporary music! I like happy/peaceful music!

Did you notice all the shadows? A lot of them this weekend!

weekend photos #4

Snow might look beautiful…

but now we have more than enough snow in Helsinki, again.

It’s difficult to walk, drive…roads are slippery under the snow.

Imagine old people whose balance and walking abilities are not that good anymore, sigh.

This part of the pavement looks okay – to park a car…
