In all honesty, I forgot I had this account. Anyway, after 8 months, hello. Coming out today like the sun did for us.

It’s funny how a bright ball in the sky can affect you so much. Almost felt alive again.

Northern lights and reflecting stars. Taken a week ago in Emäsalo, south Finland.

Needed to air my head tonight and went for a walk in Helsinki. Beautiful spring night.

The world is almost black and white on a gray spring day.

2024 didn’t start that well for me as far as photography and inspiration goes, but by August I found some of my old spark again and even managed to take some photos that I’ve wanted to for a long time.

Hopefully this winter we’ll have cold enough weather in Helsinki to have ice skaters and walkers on frozen sea like here, taken in early 2023.

Some northern lights from August, photographed in Suomenlinna. #northernlights #helsinki

Gorgeous white chocolate cheesecake yesterday, made with @nigella.bsky.social’s recipe. (Though I used a gluten free gingerbread-digestive cookie mix for base.)

A little throwback to last July when winter was a distant memory. #helsinki #photography

City blues.

The blue hour in #Helsinki in November.

First time for everything. Managed to cut my tongue and now it’s bleeding. Hate the taste of blood in my mouth but at least I’ve read online that these things tend to heal pretty quickly.

Olipa Jenni Vartiaisella upea konsertti tänään Lahden Sibeliustalolla. Mieletön fiilis ja Jenni osaa kyllä ottaa yleisönsä. Tunteikas ja kaunis ilta.

Moments before the rain. A weekend trip to Jyväskylä, Finland, in October this year. And yes, we got drenched. 🌧️
