Photos from here and there

1125Here is "art" made by unknown Oulu citizen. I'd like to say one thing to all people messing public places: if you are gonna draw to the walls, please do it properly and be sure that you have art skills enough.. :-)
       Generally speaking, I quite understand why youngsters like to draw to walls. It is fun to draw, and their work is published in the biggest gallery of the whole town - and for free! (Publicity that all real artists are envy about!)
       Well, it does not hurt anybody, but unfortunately causes lot's of expenses to all of us.

1152A winter view from a small bridge at Hupisaaret park. Although the winter time is about coldness and darkness, there are also some beautiful forms made by the water, snow and ice even in a city.

397As a Finnish citizen I had to publish this picture about a mobile sauna of Rakentajakilta students.
       There is a little bit historical feeling in this photo, because that department of the university was closed so times ago.

1115A detail of a totem pole located in a park (Ainolanpuisto).
       When I'm showing this photo to local people, it's always fun to guess them: where is this photo take from?
       This pole is in a place that I guess all locals have been visited the place, but it is so easy to miss details of our everyday environment...

1547This is a small lakelet near Varjakka area. While I was photographing this picture from a bird watching tower, some people told me that usually there are hundreds of birds resting on their way to south, where they are spending their winter time.
       If not birds, at least I got a little bit of rainbow me...
