How to survive November ~19

Colors

Colors! I walked through the fruit section in our grocery store. Color therapy, bright, vibrant colors.. I think we all can agree that colors are good for the soul and fruits to our body. 

How to Survive November~18

Wow, time flies, only 12 days of this month a left.  The sunrise this morning was 8:28 and the sunset is happening in 40 minutes at 15:45. The day time is 7 hours and 18 minutes long  and 51 minutes of it is dusk. 

Lets cross our hands and hope for sunny days

What do you think about that? My thought about this is,  that the days are still getting shorter until December 21st, YEP!       Happy times?  NOT!                 It’s all in your attitude I’ve been told, not true in my opinion, though it does not  help  if you complain about  something you cannot change. Try to have a positive outlook I have been advised…and don’t to complain about this darkness, somebody has to, why not me 🙂

How to survive November ~16

Sunshine !! I am so happy, today after many days of gray skies, drizzle or rain we had a half cloudy day, and yes, we got to see the sun and a sunset. It always amazes me the power the sun and light has. It was nice looking the other way you saw sun setting and in the other direction the half moon rising. It is now 16:37 as I stared doing this post and its dark outside.

Digital Art

One work week behind me, I can say I am happy its Friday!  I don’t know why I once again started to do this November thing. I suppose it was a good idea at the time. I am in trouble with it now, as stated in the last post, my inspirations is as dull as the grey weather outside. What to post… today this is what I came up with. Digital art. I did not have to leave the house, working from home saved time, so I played with old images and created this colorful piece of something 🙂

Sunday was one more bleak day. Since we got home early this morning, we slept late. The joys of not having small children. Then we decorated. A new wallpaper did wonders to this room. I don’t know if I am trendy or not, but it is new and different. Our cats enjoy the flowers I bought

Pets, big or small to give you affection. Odin came on my lap to have a nap at my friends party. I got to enjoy some views from the 16th floor and nice beverages during the evening… no complaining on this November night

Yesterday I jumped a day, today I went for moment of relaxation- a massage for my tense shoulders. On the way I spotted a one rose and rose hip.

How to survive November ~5

On way to survive is to listen to music. I took these photos of Michael Monroe performing at a work event I attended. Quality is not that great, but then again we are talking and taking photos of surviving darkness.48948483-620b-40a8-a6d8-e6a7422d8e76-1

It is that time of the year again that survival is definitely on my mind. The all consuming darkness drains me. I will survive, I will drive into the mist and disappear….

How to survive November 2018~1

It is that time of the year again that survival is definitely on my mind. The all consuming darkness drains me. I will survive, I have sunshine on the horizon in December. Most likely most of my photos will be by my mobile as the darkness does not really invite you to take photos unless you are in a city. I do not often go to Helsinki, but the day we got the first snow, not officially, it melted ½ hour before it could have been mentioned as first snow. I saw it and for me it was the first snow of the season. I have to admit I was not thrilled about it.  Helsinki railway station in the evening is what I will share as my first post for November.

Autumn Vibes ~22

Driving from Porkkala in the afternoon we passed this field with the woods in the background  and a river with deep blue water. This sight appealed to me, mostly due to the light, the low light if autumn is beautiful. The lone walker on the road also caught my attention.

This has once been a great and huge shed. Even the ruins in the condition they are in at the moment are impressive,  at least to me.   After marveling it from the ceiling  I walked inside and what did I see, have a look at the large perspective, details will follow.

 

 

Autumn Vibes ~21

Driving to Porkkala in the morning we passed this field with a touch of mist still visible. This sight appealed to me, mostly due to the light. Looking to two directions from the same spot the light was totally different.The low light if autumn is beautiful.
