Sisu, Sauna and Koskenkorva aka Ode to Finns (Repost TBT)
Posted in the Throwback Thursday weekly series
Poetry, photography, tales and things that nature!
” When in Rome, do as the Romans do”
Sisu, Sauna and Koskenkorva (Ode to Finns)
Finns, what a nationality
We have quite the ability
To enjoy ourselves
With life’s simple little things
Sauna, heated to at least eighty degrees
Surely hot enough to melt any cheese
Beating each other with branches of birch
Almost as purifying as absolution in a church
Sisu, the spunk, guts and percistence
We have plenty of through out our existance
Rally drivers, Nokia, Linux and the rest
We only deliver the best
Koskenkorva, pure spirit made out of barley
After drinking, don’t ride your Harley
The Swedes may prefer their Vodka
But for the Finns, it’s pure dogma
We have lakes and forrests in abundance
So please come and join us
For a visit in the green of nature
It won’t leave you denatured

Public transit, oh what joy!
But, before you shout ahoy

A Bench at the Beach (Seat Sunday 2016-01-31)
Looking for my favourite spot
The one I prefer for break times
Buried under snow it seems
Workings of a wintry plot!
Snow aside,
I really don’t mind
Sitting down for a few
Enjoying the silent view
Before the evening
Sun sets
Moon (Daily Photo)

“I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it” Albert Einstein
Moon (Daily Photo)
As I am spotting the night trains passing by
I notice a round white ball in the black sky
In my mind’s eye, trying to reach high
But I just stumble, my aim gone awry
Reaching for the moon
Like it was a gold doubloon
Expecting everything to come soon
Will only lead to one’s doom
Window View (Daily Photo)

“Never trust a computer you can’t throw out a window” Steve Wozniak
Window View
In the early morning hours
As I am jumping into my car
I look out the window
Only to find the moon
Brightening my path
Arriving at the office
To an early morning meeting
I left without eating
So just coffee must do
As I listen to the others
Playing their part
In this life we know as office
I let my eyes wander
Towards the closest window
Only to find
A most beautiful sunrise
Sky painted red
But here inside instead
The only view for me
Is through the peephole
Known as a window
But oh, what a view

Share each Friday, on your own blog, one photo…or maybe even a gallery of some of your favorite photos that you have taken during the week, that make you smile or that was a great photo capturing opportunity…anything really! And as photographers are often known to say, “The best camera is, the one that you have with you!”

Favourite Photo Friday, 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-29) One
Those of you snapping pix, know this to be a tedious task, since to be honest, they are all favourites of the moments they were taken, why else would you have shot them in the first place, right? Trying to limit to just one or two photos is difficult for any post, but trying my best here from the several thousand photos shot and posted during 2015 😉
For this weeks Favourite Photo Friday posts, I have decided to walk through 2015 and choose a few of my most favourite ones during the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane 2015 in photographs!
For this last post in the 2015 photo break down, I have chosen a set of my favourite sky shots.
In the first post, the skies over Tuusula Lake in Finland.
Enjoy!
