Or cry against it?

The photographs were taken on July 6th.

Today I need to have the car serviced. The Check Engine light is on every so often, probably due to a malfunctioning oxygen sensor.

And it's getting me so

During the work week I commuted by bicycle on three days, and got only 4 1/2 hours of exercise. Today I walked for 2 1/2 hours in the morning, taking photographs, and during afternoon I painted for four hours out in the garden. The fence looks fine now, but I'm totally exhausted.

These photographs were taken at Brussels airport on April 23rd, when waiting for the delayed flight.

I have not made this show purposelessly

Here are some blurry views taken when traveling from Brussels to Helsinki on Tuesday. It has been blurry later this week as well.

We never tire of making the world smaller

There has been a lot of discussion and new items about PISA 2012 results here in Finland, due to Finland dropping 10 steps lower in the ranking to position 12. It seems that children are no longer interested in learning, especially boys. Reading comprehension is dropping rapidly, as well as math problem solving skills.

The photograph was taken at Brussels airport, showing two readers, one of them using a tablet, the other reading a newspaper. And what is visible in the background photograph if not the tower of Pisa.
