evening walk


took a walk this evening in my home town. it's strange how i remember this river as smelly and muddy. they told us kids way back when that the smell was the smell of money. there was / is a paper mill upstream, they certainly have cleaned up their act. the river has sprung back to life and there are fish in it.




dad used to have a boat, not as huge as these ones, but big enough to sleep in. my brother and i enjoyed the summer holidays and weekends on the boat. poor mom got sea-sick, therefore we now have the cottage.



this piece is called "distance" by jari-jussi voijola. there is someone across the river.




my reason for heading out for the walk is this...looking upstream




and downstream 




yep, she is over there




another look at the setting sun



noticed that some had made promises on one of the bridges




one of these days i will take a cruise on the river, just to see how well i remember the bends along the way to the big lake.

this post was done on my iphone and i have no idea how crappy the pics might look on a big screen.

  4. I think the photos look really nice. I found the address for your blog on your Instagram profile. It's nice to see full size photos, instead of just the small ones on my iPhone Instagram feed. The dog is very clever. Hahahaaa.

  9. This is how my associate Wesley Virgin's biography begins with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

    As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he discovered hidden, "MIND CONTROL" secrets that the government and others used to obtain everything they want.

    THESE are the same tactics many celebrities (notably those who "became famous out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become wealthy and successful.

    You probably know how you use only 10% of your brain.

    That's because most of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps that expression has even taken place IN YOUR own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain 7 years ago, while riding an unlicensed, garbage bucket of a vehicle with a suspended driver's license and $3.20 in his bank account.

    "I'm very fed up with living paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally make it?"

    You've been a part of those those types of questions, ain't it right?

    Your success story is going to be written. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
