SIX

katso ilmaa
koske maata
menetä tämä elo maaksi
hetki sulje
(Tenhi: Tuulenkato)


I was kind of tagged by Nina to search for the sixth folder with pictures, to choose the sixth image out of that sixth folder and, finally, to post it here with the story of its creation. My pictures, however, are following their own order which does not necessarily include several folders. Thus, I chose the folder with the highest amount of various images - and I found one on the sixth place

Strangely enough, this image was taken in 2006; in April, to be precise. The sky over the forest at my Slovenian home. I still remember well it was the very first storm that year and I was amazed by the blackness of the clouds. The shine of the sky.

This image is also connected to Finland, in a way. The year 2006 was not that good year for me; depression was initiated, my sky was covered with gloomy clouds, only some patches of shiny blue was left...

In that strange spring I was also listening a lot to my dear Tenhi; the band had just issued new album Maaäet. The atmosphere of the picture is for me closely associated with the lyrics of Tuulenkato.

And on tagging - well, dear fellow bloggers, if you feel like searching for your sixth picture within the sixth folder and then write a post about it, you are vey welcome to do so.

IRISH CELEBRATION


The 17th of March is a very important day and also a national holiday in Ireland. As I am a huge fan of Ireland, thus meaning the land, sheep, culture, playwrights and, most of all, music, I was very happy to celebrate St.Patrick's Day in an Irish pub with a jolly company. However, as I do not drink neither beer nor Guinness, the drink of the evening was some cocoa with a drop of mint liquer. Far too Finnish, I know - but it was just too late for a proper Irish coffee.

Anyways, here is a link to the video by my favorite band Flogging Molly so just enjoy the music. Sláinte!

PRAKTIČNA PRISPODOBA


pasji kakec - koiran kakka


Tämä on perseestä. V finščini to pomeni, da je nekaj zanič, bedno, this sucks. V dobesednem prevodu bi stavek pomenil, da je nekaj iz riti oziroma dejansko to je iz riti. V slovenščini pa bi rekli, da je nekaj za en drek. Kakorkoli, domnevam, da obe kulturi ter njuna tukaj zabeležena izraza nezadovoljstva opisujeta eno in isto - bolj ali manj neposredno.

P.S.: Današnji dan je bil popolnoma zanič in zoprn. Za en drek. Ihan perseestä!
