Had a great time at the Night of the Arts last night. Attended a baroque music pub quiz and bingo+ concert at Café Barock + more. We were a bit rubbish but came 4th in the quiz nonetheless. #taiteidenyö #helsinki #cafebarock

For a Helsinkian, this must be the best time of the year. The light is so lovely. This pic was taken at half past ten at night. #helsinki #besttimeoftheyear #töölönlahti

I have had a lovely day with my friends in Tallin. Saw Anton Corbijn's exhibition at Fotografiska Tallinn, had a nice vegan meal and stopped at the DM (i.e. Depeche Mode) Bar. Escaping the cruel world around us. #tallinn #antoncorbijn #fotografiskatallinn

Perfect timing for my Boxing Day walk. Now it's grey again. Photo taken from Tervasaari islet in Helsinki. You can see ice-breaker vessels in the horizon. No ice in southern Finland now, though. #boxingdaywalk #helsinki
