Fiskars village looking pretty today. Visited the Christmas market with friends. #fiskars
A village at dusk. In front there is a small sculpture and in the background there are red-brick buildings and lights reflecting on the water. There's a little snow on the ground.

Helsinki is a lovely city in the autumn. #helsinki #autumn
Trees and bushes with yellow and orange leaves. In the background there are people walking and further there is the sea and the Helsinki skyline

The European Film Weeks organised by the European Commission in Finland is always a joy! This morning I enjoyed 'Dreamtown', a recent Irish feature, and 'Is it is easy to be young?', a Latvian documentary from 1986. #europeanfilmweeks #film #europe #kinoregina #oodi

The shores of the Baltic Sea in Helsinki this morning. We celebrate Baltic Sea Day today to remind us of the need to protect it. #BalticSeaDay #itämeripäivä
Kaisaniemenlahti bay at dawn. The photo is taken from between some birches so there are leafy branches in the front, and boats, blocks of flats and a bridge in the distance

Tapiola, where the film festival magic happens. #tapiola #espoo #espoocine #reflections #filmfestival
Tapiola in Espoo. It is getting dark. Buildings and their lights reflecting on the water of the central pool.

Enjoyable evening with the Finnish Baroque Orchestra and baritone Aarne Pelkonen at the BRQ Vantaa festival! Besides the Baroque repertoire, I enjoyed Lara Poe's Petite Suite d'après Couperin, which sounded both familiar and utterly strange! #larapoe #brqvantaa #finnishbaroqueorchestra #nusic

This weekend I travelled to Uusikaupunki and attended on Crusell week concert there. The photo is of the performance of Ráidu, a very moving piece combining joiku (traditional Sámi singing) with contemporary music, composed by Jaime Belmonte and Anna Näkkäläjärvi-Länsman. 2/2 #crusellviikko #music

It was a good week for music festivals. On Tuesday I attended two concerts at Meidän festivaali on Järvenpää, with one of them combining chamber music with clown art. On stage you can see musicians from the Kamus quartet and actors from the Red Nose Company. 1/2 #meidänfestivaali

Helsinki summers are just gorgeous. #helsinki
The sun setting behind some blocks of flats. It reflects on something so there are some curious red reflections in the photo.

Lying in the backyard watching the sky, reading, drinking ice tea and listening to Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune by Claude Debussy. I am so on holiday. #holiday

Lovely day cycling on Vormsi island off the Estonian coast, despite the high winds that made it feel like a real sport! Saw an old cemetery, bumped into some curious horses on the nature trail and enjoyed the scenery. #vormsi #estonia #travel
A view of the sea. It is clear that the wind is heavy. There are some shrubs in the front.

This was a lovely find. A small café called Pagu, which is also a bookshop selling both new and secondhand books. Exactly what I wished for when booking my holiday. #haapsalu #estonia #books
An old table with a jug of coffee and a cup. There's a bookshelf next to it

Had a great time in Turku! Last night I got to wander around town and today attended a useful course on facilitating deliberative processes in e.g. local democracy. #turku #deliberativedemocracy #puntaroivatkansalaiskeskustelut
A view of River Aurajoki. The sky is grey so the water looks murky,but the trees along the riverbank are very green in contrast. In the distance the picture shows the tower of Turku cathedral.

Had the great pleasure of being a guest at the 125th anniversary concert by the Polytech Choir, one of Finland's finest male choirs! This is only one of the amazing choirs whose learning activities are supported by my workplace. #polyteknikkojenkuoro #opintokeskussivis #adulteducation #music

What a lovely day it was! Cycled around a bit. The first photo is from Koskelantie and the second one from the Vanhankaupunginkoski rapid. Helsinki is lovely! #helsinki #cycling #pyöräily
A street with a cycling lane running in the middle. It is surrounded by trees with light green leaves and the sun is shining through them. Water flowing through a rapid. There is a seagull sitting on a rock
