14:44 29 September, 2007 29092007220 A visit to Tropicario produced this picture. I know such reptile displays are pretty commonplace, but I think this is a pretty nice picture nevertheless. Especially so for a camera phone photo. I like how the scales on the head reflect light and how the head stands out from the background when shooting with macro mode.

Those crazy Dutch
20:01 07 September, 2007 07092007190 Interesting architecture in nothern part of Amsterdam. Many people in Amsterdam live in house boats, but the alternative is moving into a house that looks like cruise liner bridge.

Body art
18:31 25 August, 2007 25082007177 A local artist in Helsinki has created a piece of art she sometimes carts around town as an act of ... art. Here is the artist and the artwork together waiting to cross the street. I don't really get what she is trying to say, but I like the fact she's able and allowed to say it nevertheless.
A reasonable request
14:53 09 August, 2007 09082007176 In addition to talking your laptop and itsy bitsy ziploc bagged fluid bottles out of your bag, emptying your pockets, taking off your belt, jacked and shoes, sir ... would you mind unloading your 44 magnum as well? Yep, I guess I am in Texas...

Exit light...
22:38 15 July, 2007 15072007168 ... enter night! I doubt there are many places in the world where Metallica gets such an enthusiastic reception after all these years.
Hard rock queue
18:00 15 July, 2007 15072007163 Somewhere up there is the Olympic stadium with HIM and Metallica will play later. The security people made certain that the entry to the stadium was as narrow as possible, but we would learn that a lot later.

Watch out long jumpers!
10:33 21 July, 2007 21072007171 We had a really nice week playing golf, tennis and everything else in the Finnish sports academy in Vierumäki. This year we spent our entire holiday in Finland. Better for the environment and also the last thing I wanted to see this holiday were airports, planes and hotels. Nice to see the different sides of the homeland as well.

D-fens
16:26 05 July, 2007 05072007153 Joona makes sure Finnish skies are safe in the air defence museum near where my parents live. Small boys are drawn to big guns no matter how peaceful life nowadays is. Must be in the genes or something.

Tri-City Dust Devils 10, Vancouver Canadians 4
20:17 19 June, 2007 19062007126 A home team hitter misses a fast ball in minor league home opener in Vancouver. Baseball is not the sport you want to watch not having slept really at all for 1.5 days. I left after 4 innings despite the great weather.
