Ypäjän Musiikkiteatteri

Two weeks ago we went to the summer theatre in Ypäjä. It was fun although Eero decided that watching a bit of the first act was enough :)

Hai un par de selmanes fuimos al teatru a l'aire llibre'n Ypäja. Fue divertío anque Eero decidió que con ver un cachín del 1er actu yá valía :)

Flower Power

Photo Tölkin Palautus
Extracted from... People in Helsinki were invited to help create a massive art installation of flowers under the supervision of artist Kaisa Salmi. On Monday, in the pouring rain, Salmi and a band of Helsinki volunteers set up a labyrinth of 100,000 gerberas in front of the main railway station. The gerbera labyrinth will be on display until Friday. Nature, particularly flowers, are a recurring theme in Salmi's works. The aim of this installation is to show how important nature is to humans' surroundings and welfare. In 2007, foto below, Salmi recruited helpers to cover the steps of Parliament with 60,000 blooms.
