Ultra Classic

 Bought myself a new wristwatch, it´s #11 in my stable. It´s a real beauty, I love them articulating hands especially. Fossil, Citizen and even Rolex has made Mickey Mouse watches, among others. This reminds me not to take myself too serioius. Somewhere inside me there´s little boy yet still. And it ain´t going anywhere any time soon I reckon. It´s a good thing, right?

Reunion or Good Bye

 Lots of emotions on a railway station. 

Looking Upstairs

 Snapped from train. Inside lights (3 yellow stripes) are reflecting from window.

Jumalten Keinu

Tällä kertaa tarjoan veli Bipolaarin tekemän veisun sairaudestastaan. Sanat kolahtaa aika kovaa sattuneesta syystä. Muuten ei ole mun musaa tämä noin oletusarvoisesti. Joskus olen nähnyt herran livevetoja netistä, melko Korkealla Manian Hevosella näytti ratsastavan usein. Saman olen huomannut toisen veli Bipolaarin esiintymistä, herra Robbie Williams on myös melko korkeella mania-hepalla liikkeellä esiintyessään monesti. Voihan siinä pikkusen sellaset jeesus-fiilikset olla kun kymmenet tuhannet fanit palvoo kuin jumalaa ja huutaa kuorossa sun nimee.

Fire in the Sky

 Skywatch Friday

Canon EOS 5D MarkII with Canon EF 1:4 L 70-200mm @ 200mm f5.6 1/8000sec. ISO400

Yesterday meets Nowadays

Tractor, Woodshed, Outhouse & Solar Panel 


He´s giving me..

 ..the Evil Eye.

All Aboard

Paparazzed from inside of train. Two-and four-legged passangers wellcome.

Bit of War History

 This is Masrhal Mannerheim´s railroad car in Mikkeli, Finland. He was Commander in Chief in Finland during Winter War and Continuation War. This wagon was used when Adolf Hitler surprissingly visited at Mannerheim´s 75th birthday, 4 June 1942. Finnish Military Intelligence Agency secretly recorded the conversation. It´s only time where Hitler´s real voice was recorded. Mannerheim didn´t like his visit but we was co-operating against Soviet Union so he just have to tolerate Hitler. Mind you; Finland didn´t take any part of Holocaust.

Hot in the City

Shadow Shot Sunday


Them Harley Davidson leather pants must be
Hot as Hell under this Sun. His nuts must be roasted.

Gasoline Bandits (Kuhmon Mobilistit/Rompetori)

 This one for my backroad travelling friend Tom from the States. A small Car Show with Flea Market I visited during my holiday. Didn´t buy car but found myself a nice, working BMW wrist watch for mere10€.

Pair of mopeds. The red one seems to have modern day front end with suspension and disk brake. Other than that it looks like something you could buy in the 1950´s. Ibris is the brand of this one.

A Moped and a Motorcycle from East Germany. Ifa 125cc from 1953.

A tractor, Zetor 25A. Zetor has bit of a cult following in Finland. If I would ever buy a tractor it would be Zetor just like this. I don´t know what I would do with it but it would be nice recardless.

Ford Thunderbird, year unknown. ðŸ‘†


Austin A70 Hereford 1952 made in England. 4 cylinders with 78 horse power.


Rambler 660. Am pretty sure it´s not cubic inches. Maybe it´s a model number.


Ford Mercury. Looks like a Pimp Ride from 1970´s Harlem. I can image a pimp riding this with a furcoat and 70´s porn groove on car stereo. Noicy and nasty.


Good ole Ford what ever and Dodge Custom 880. Surely that can´t be cubic inches. Ford is like brand new and the rat-esk Dodge is very nicely done. Not too much but just enougf.


Last but not least, Dodge Charher or Challenger from 1970´s.
Or so I think, maybe Tom can help me with this one.
This Drag Racing mobile had atleast 50cm (19.5inch) back wheels.
My t-shirt goes nicely with this post.

A Nod to the Grand Master

 Few William Eggleston´s Red Ceiling inspired photos.



Fueling

 My 84 years old father, a superman. This spring he planted over 4000 saplings. I´m 30 years younger but I could not do that. I raise my hat to him.            The Weekend in Black and White

Kaheli Pendolino


 Waiting for my train to go on my holiday. 5 and ½ hours of ass-numbing sitting ahead.

Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train


All aboard ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Let's go
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role

Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah

Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something' that just isn't fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

To the..

bat mobile, Robin! Camera-shy car owner. Nice car. Never seen one before.


I´m back (Olen Selkä)

Short holiday is over and I´m back on my computer again.
Let´s start it with some profanity.
Be aware of boobs? Or nipples perhaps..
