It's a cafe

The cafe is called Spoon and is located in Helsinki-Vantaa airport.

UFOs?

The mothership and the rest of the othe spaceships. Guess what is it... Find out more tomorrow.

Muddy..

Round and round

Moving ball in Helsinki University's Kumpula campus. Was at the library today.

Uunisaari 3

I like the reflections in the water. Very pretty.

Uunisaari 2

I'm having a cold and just staying put at home. Some shots from my stock photos. Taken near Uunisaari in Helsinki.

Messukeskus

Messukeskus is the Helsinki Fair Centre. This was taken yesterday when it was snowing. The lights are on here as this was taken about 3 hours later then the previous photo. It had stopped snowing by then. Today it is sunny and above zero and the snow is melting away...

Snowing

Such a vast difference in weather from yesterday. It was windy and snowing hard at 2.45pm today. This is a tram stop in Pasila. Just look at the pole deep in snow. Across the street you can see the exhibition hall Messukeskus.

Up in the air

Lucky shot ...

Flashback...

This was taken at 11.15pm. The weather was over 0 deg Cel till a couple of days ago. Only this morning was it about -3. Now just -2. These are mild temperatures compared to a much colder winter last year. Same day last year

Suspicion With A Reason 2

Suspicion With A Reason: "Selected scenes from unpublished and forgotten film noirs.. presented by Kristiina Spade"

Unusually Bright

Just took this from my window. It is 1520 now and it is not usual for it to be this bright now. Especially after the windy, stormy night we had last night.

Suspicion With A Reason sketches continue tomorrow.

Suspicion With A Reason

This was posted at Kaisaniemi metro. A series of sketches fellow this main sketch. Will post that tomorrow.

Helsinki's Best Chinese

This restaurant serves Malaysian Chinese dishes and has been around for quite some time. Whenever my friend is feeling homesick and wants some good food, she goes here. It was her treat today and we enjoyed our meal of Curry Duck and Claypot (mixture of veg, chicken and shrimps) Good meal at resonable prices.
If you look closely, you'll find a couple of reviews on the window that raves about how good the restuarant is.
Review (only in finnish)

Is this the longest...

Escalator located in Kamppi metro. There is another in Ruoholahti metro. Always wondered which of the two was longer... Finally looked up the answer instead of wondering...

"The longest escalator on the Helsinki Metro is at Kamppi metro station with a length of 65m, and a vertical rise of 29.7m, including 334 steps." More on escalators

This probably refers to the old escalator in the same location. Not sure of the length of this.

Seeing purple

Now you see purple...

Well another dark and gloomy day. I had a full day in school today from 8am to 6pm. After that, I had to go Myyrmanni shopping complex. It was 8pm when I was at this bus station waiting for my bus.

As I was positioning the camera (or rather my hp) to take a shot, I noticed this purple light when the camera was tilted at a certain angle. It was just at that specific angle.. otherwise it was a perfectly normal lamp post light.

And now you don't...

where's the snow?

It was cold, windy and dark today. No snow to cheer up the surroundings. Instead of posting a gloomy photo, thought I'll post something more cheery that I took last wed.

The bridge leads up to a small island called Uunisaari in Helsinki. There is a restuarant and sauna facilities. It was closed when i was there mid day. In summer, people like to go to the beach on the island.

Notice the reflection in the water. That's what I like about this shot besides the snow. It was a calm and quiet day.

Back to School

Start of a new semester and new courses. This course requires one to set up a server and do some testing. Not one of my favourite courses but it is mandatory.

Metro Line

Yes, the subway line is only these stations. The line runs only in Helsinki. It is called the Metro line and the vehicle is known as metro.

Missing...

It was a rainy day yesterday with +5C. Today it was +6C and drizzling. The result, no more snow. The view from my window just ten minutes ago, green grass and on the far left you can see some remaining snow...

See this playground covered with snow last year (11.01.2007)
