Art and it's many forms

Yesterday me and Sanna had plans to go see the Botanical garden but we had to reschedule and went to the art museum instead.

I'm not usually a person who enjoys watching paintings but I have to admit there were some interesting pieces.


"Map" by Anu Torikka


"St. Catherine of Alexandria" by Niccoló da Foligno


Got to see one of Edelfelt's most recognisable painting(or at least it's that in Finland).


"Virginie" by Albert Edelfelt


It's always time to have some fun.

Also found myself a new boyfriend ;)

Dressing up

It's nice to travel somewhere and at the moment my location is Joensuu where I'm visiting my friend and summer co-worker Sanna.

We are both horror/crime scene genre freaks so most of my evenings here we have been watching Supernatural and other crime series. So now I'm obsessed with bacon burgers, folklore and 1967 Shevy Impala. :D


This is how the nights go


But it's not all we have been done. Yesterday we visited local museum Carelicum, North Karelian museum, where was exhibitions of theatre, Stone age and North Karelian history. All the exhibitions were interesting but probably most fun we had with the theatre one.....


Just like in the movies


Some wicked costumes


Ready to close up

Still have a few days here and tomorrow we are going to the Botanical Garden. Let's see if there is still some butterflies at this time a year.
