Sunday morning and day was no surprise to me it was grey and rainy again. In the afternoon there was a hint of light just before it set. We drove to Helsinki and on our way back 16:30 it was dark again. The joys of light.
Saturday morning surprised me with sunshine as I walked to get the morning paper from the mail box. Happy, happy 😃 
I am getting My new computer tomorrow setup as my son is coming to do it for me. I am not technically savvy so its a blessing to have someone in the family who is. I have not been able to do anything with it for a week. One more from my phone 
One more day in November to survive, slush in coming down sideways and for sure I have no desire to be out there. At work I have lit the candles and only gone out to go and have my usual Thursday desert at the restaurant nearby. The shitty weather can look good if you crop it small enough 🙂
Suomi 100 – Finland 100 we are celebrating Hundred year of independence this year. And there are lots of Blue and White products out there. These two lift your mood, candle light and tasty chocolate.

A day late and a dollar short- but wine always helps
Rainy day activity – creating digital art.
Rainy day again and on the road 
How… this today. 
Thursday. The restaurant we daily use has Pea soup as one of the main dishes and crepes with ice cream, strawberry jam and whipped cream for desert every Thursday. That helps the survival weekly. Tasty!!
Wow,half way into November, this morning was so dark and the ground was covered in black ice, but fortunately I just had to walk to my car – less than 50 meters so I did not fall down. Later the day this wonderful thing called sun made it’s appearance too. I am counting the days as it is not that common to have that many sunny days at this time it of the year. That is not a fact statement, more like my own observation. I work full time so I have to take photos near our office. All around us, there are construction site’s and high cranes so those are my spotting’s for today
Walking back to the office from lunch I had to photograph this wonder once again (sun).
I am surviving it’s grey outside, but i have a new hair color so all is good! Is this not one of the most annoying questions, what should I do with my hair? This time I solved it this way. Blonder, shorter. The other question is, what should we make for dinner?
Do you agree with these very important questions or do you have better annoying and hard and more important questions?
Monday, I arrived to my work at 7:30 and the first thing I did is, I lit a candle. It created nice reflections on the mirror placed under the decoration. Mission accomplished. Then it was time to go and make a pot of coffee to start the day off… 
Fathers day. In the morning I baked a carrot cake, I have to say it is rather delicious! After that I started preparing our Mexican lunch / dinner, not bad either. so it was rather good day food wise. Raining, so we spent the day inside. All this baking and preparing of food, I forgot to take any photos, until now. So here is a photo of a half eaten cake. 
Yesterdays sunshine turned to rain, me and a huge amount of others went to the mall to escape the rain…these are taken on the way home. Quite notable is that this is also taken little after 3 PM… what a difference a day makes.
I was coming to the parking garage from grocery shopping to see sunshine and rain in November 
the afternoon. It was just after 3 PM and the sun was already going down.
Helsinki in November sunlight 
The reflection on a train window – not something I get to photograph that often or that it would come to my mind to do so, but it is November. And the sun was shining again today. That is a wow factor for sure!
Sitting in front of my TV playing with my phone… what a way to Survive November
Construction site
Give me light
I visited British Columbia year and half ago, while driving in the coutryside I walked into this abandoned farm house. I think these are documentary photos. I find it odd in away that such decay transforms into rather interesting photographs, what do you think. Have I been able to capture the decay and odd beauty into these shots?

How to Survive November 2017 is topic a fellow blogger https://lepis.wordpress.com uses and I thought I’d do something similar, totally random shots with slightly different twist to me regular photos, that is, context wise. I don’t know if I am able to skip my style. As you may know November is dark, and wet, the most depressing month of the year here in Finland and you need to something to survive.
Here is my first one, five days late… 
Topic being food landscape…not something I would normally do (play with food) or post on my blog 🙂
