Smoke on the horizon

Picture of the smoke coming from a warehouse fire on Puusepänkatu. More information (in finnish):

 Suurehko varastorakennus on syttynyt tuleen Turun Puusepänkadulla. Palo syttyi noin kello 18.20, ja varasto on parhaillaan ilmiliekeissä. Aurajokirantaan nousi palon sytyttyä korkea savupilvi, joka herätti ihmisten huomion. Poliisin mukaan rakennuksen ulkopuolella on majaillut toistakymmentä romanikerjäläistä. Tässä vaiheessa ei tiedetä, onko sisällä ketään.

The Award-winning Walking to (and from) Work series

I'm currently on my third week of doing productive things for others, also known as working. I won't be talking very much about what I do at work since that would involve figuring what I can and can't say about it and that would require thinking and that's a lot of work. That said, I am having fun and doing interesting and demanding things.

On my quiet 20-25 minute walk into work each morning I listen to podcasts and carry a camera so I'll be collecting a, hopefully, award-winning picture series called "Walking to (and from) Work". Here are my first works of art: 

The problem with my P&S camera (Fujifilm F200EXR) is that it takes quite good pictures, especially outdoors in the summer, so I haven't been able to talk myself into buying a new camera yet. Also waiting for reviews of Sony's new NEX-5 which seems like a camera I might like.

As always, pictures are first uploaded to my Flickr-page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hagge/ so follow that if you have an insatiable need for pictures I take (or the better alternative might be to get somekind of professional help..?)

Myllysilta sagging

Yesterday-morning (Saturday 6.3.2010) the Myllysilta bridge crossing Aurajoki in Turku started to crumble. Didn't have time or inspiration then to go look but since the weather was good we went for walk with Riikka and took some photos. Go over to Flickr for geotags and snarky commentary: 

Kind of sad to see that there hasn't been that much discussion about Myllysilta on twitter and other social media and even photographs were far and few between yesterday. New pictures are flowing in now though, like the below video by my friend Thomas, but citizen journalism in Turku needs a wake-up call I think :).
