Have a nice Midsummer!

Doing a little summer-picture roundup in anticipation of the midsummer, I'll be mostly offline and in Kokkola during the weekend, take care everyone!

As my twitter or flickr-followers might've noticed, I've been a much more prolific photographer this summer. Somehow been very visually inspired. Granted, much of my photography has been done on my walk to work but that's not necessarily a bad thing, is it? We need more pictures of the mundane and everyday, and that happens to be a very beautiful and inspiring everyday when it comes to summer in Turku! Here are some of my recent favorites:

The pile of rubble in the background is the old seed-repository being torn down, its been abandoned for as long as I've lived in Turku and last summer a kid died there while doing some urban exploring with his friends. Finally they found the money to tear it down. I have more pictures of it in this set:

What's summer without some rain?

And pretty clouds:

I also took a picture of a typical team of municipal workers in action:

Three people, two watching and one doing the work. Granted, I will admit they are pretty damn good at what they do because this is what it looked like 7 days later:

Anyway, I'll leave you with this set of pictures from Turku Castle

and one of my first good pictures of movement:

Be nice and stay safe during the midsummer-festivities! It's unfortunately almost a certain that its not a question "if" someone drowns during midsummer-eve in Finland but "how many", so remember to wear floating-vests if you are boating and don't try to pee overboard :).
