Summer cravings






Oh, summer, let yourself in.

I have not really been photographing for at least a month, have not had the inspiration during this too-gray-period. These pictures are taken last September in Alanya, Turkey. Best part of the vacation was the hot sea water. I must say it is a place I will probably never travel to again, it was too made for tourists and there is so many other places in this world I want to see.

I cannot even remember when the sun shone last time. It is all grey, all the time. Sometimes raining. At least the snow melt. I never got to try skiing this year. But honestly, I don't mind a short winter. I'm just craving for the sun, a proper spring, leaves growing on the trees, the warmth... I'm especially exited for next summer which will be totally different from earlier summers - it will wholly be spent abroad! (Not in Turkey though) and more of that later.

Oh, summer, embrace me already.

Say Hello to the Green Thumb


Two weeks ago. A beautiful sunset. In the countryside of Western Finland...



... with a colorful sky...


... a cozy, warming fire...


... and a rising half moon.


About a week ago I decided to give a try on growing herbs. I was actually a tiny bit afraid they would never start growing since the days are so short and dark this time of the year. But surprisingly - at least what i think is basil - started growing after a few days and now after more than a week the rosemary and mint started growing. I have never really considered myself as a "green thumb" and usually all flowers I sometimes had, died quickly... but maybe I have grown more adult when growing herbs etc. has become interesting :D

Sunset


A late-summer sunset from 2009. 

I have finally started my bachelor degree project about 2 weeks ago and I cannot really wait to be finished with all school stuff and take a break. The subject though, is very interesting and also very new to me, so I have been reading a lot of different papers and tried to learn about the blood-brain barrier and and cell-penetrating peptides. Last week I splitted cells to get my own cell culture (which then are supposed to mimic the blood-brain barrier) and tomorrow they should be grown enough to make some test experiments :).

Sunset mirrored windows


I haven't really had time for photographing this autumn..and I've been very lazy updating too. But here is a picture from about a month back, when there was no snow yet. Now you like drown in all the snow... anyway the time is just before sunset, mirrored the windows with light, creating a feeling hard to explain. Somehow cold and distant...
    And by the end of the week I will head to Finland for the Xmas-holidays. But before that I still have a few days long lab to complete, how fun right before Christmas. And how fast time flows by, this blog has been up for 2 years now :o


But Merry Christmas everybody!

Midsummer 2012




A Midsummer sunset 2012. I had a quite nice Midsummer this year too. The weather was better than in many years and as usually (it could almost be called as a tradition already) I went to a friend's summer cottage for celebrating, grilling, swimming and bathing in the sauna... Next day I headed to my parents' summer cottage, and took it really easy.
     And this week there will (and already have been) a lot of work outdoors, it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't raining too much. Tomorrow we'll measure and weight fish from the test fisching, how interesting (in the rain).

Finally I would have had time to explore the newest album from In Mourning, but instead, after being listening to one song, I found another band worth listening to; Anathema.

Valentine's Sunset


Happy Valentine's Day! The sunset was a bit different from the usual, kind a hazy and it snowed nicely.
