The start of German’s quest of the world cup, 2010. This was during German’s opening match rout of Australia 4-0.

An assortment of colours that caught my eye in Sweden and Finland. Paints from the Vasa shipwreck in Stockholm, handmade designer purses in Helsinki and a collection of  snidely diaries (all of them empty inside, of course)

What I’m really missing these days. This was at one of the beaches in Cascais near Lisbon.

Costa Nova beaches outside of Aveiro, Portugal. The sun was shining hard, the sand was deep and soft and the winds kept howling. Note: Wooden spikes are sharp, right Bloody Knee?

Aveiro is know as the “Portugese Venice” due to this one canal. This is my best attempt to show it in that light, but, honestly, it’s hardly anything like Venice at all. It does have it’s own unique calm charm of a more mellow town. September, 2009.

For sale in Helsinki. Two, please!

At the naval fortress of Suomenlinna in Helsinki, Finland.

On the ferry to Suomenlinna fortress in Helsinki, Finland.

A military proceeding – most likely a funeral – leaving the Helsinki Cathedral. Finland, September 2009.

Taken at a shopping mall in Lisbon – it reminded me of something out of Gattaca.
