Together one breathing, burning machine

The photographs of Finnish midsummer bonfire were taken on June 23rd at Laaksolahti in Espoo, the place that was depicted in my photobook Impressions of Midsummer's Eve (also available at Blurb).

Today I rode the bicycle to Seutula, returning via the road that goes by the airport. I tried out the new Specialized Elite TR shoes, and they proved to be an excellent fit.

Will I picture you, just beyond innocence

The photographs of Finnish midsummer bonfire were taken on June 24th at Laaksolahti, the place that was depicted in my photobook Impressions of Midsummer's Eve (also available at Blurb).

This morning I rode the bicycle for 2 1/2 hours, the longest ride this year. I circled around Vanhankaupunginlahti bay, through Viikki Arboretum, enjoying the landscape. There are a lot of places in Helsinki which I have never visited, and I plan to visit some of them this summer. I have got 3026 km riding the bicycle so far this year.
