train station. We were on our way to the harbor in Helsinki to catch a ferry back to Tallinn when we saw smoke in the sky and anxious groups pf people moving towards it, making phone calls, looking around with eyes big with fear and confusion. We went in the same direction and had to stop near Kiasma, the modern art museum set just next to the train station. The was a heat wave and a wall of fire, basically we saw what you can see in the picture. 'Somebody blew the train up!' was my first thought.It turned out that buildings on fire were warehouses occupied (only until that day) by artists, free souls, hippies and others. The city wanted to tear these buildings down, but somebody set them on fire in an act of protest.

Merry Carp! 2007-12-26 06:42:00 It's been a while. I am back and this time I bring you some food photography. Hope you'll like it."Merry
Carp" is what some people say instead of "Merry Christmas" in Poland. It's a lame joke, but it reffers to the fate of many hundreds of these fishes. The picture will tell you more than I could write in a few sentence, so have a look.Herein, I present to you an old Polish tradition - most people here would agree that there can be no traditional Christmas Eve feast without a carp. There are 12 dishes traditionally served on 24th of December in Poland and many of them have carp as a part of their recipe's ingredients list. Carps are being sold at the stalls, which appear seemingly out of nowhere about a week before Christmas. They are easy to spot as you drive through the city. The carps a

Specimen #3. Santa Barbara, CA. July 2008. 2008-07-23 03:12:00 Tangled seaweed, deserted algan body, left in the sun to dry out and die. This plant had no luck. I was, on the other hand, lucky enough to be walking by just to take a picture of it. Lying on the sand as it is, it reminds me of a meal, like a sophisticated pasta or an exotic salad.
