Plasticiens Volants at Taiteiden Yö (Night of the arts) 21.8.09 in Helsinki
It was advertised in the papers that during the arts' night on Friday the fairy tales become true... and they did - in the form of the hot water bottles. Perhaps I should explain...
A few years ago we were driving around the country side with Emmdee and I happened to see a group of colourful hot air balloons in the sky - and I scared the driver by yelling loudly (as I often do): 'Look - lots of hot water bottles over there!' Of course the driver couldn't see them immediately, but wondered probably in his mind that now she has lost it big time.
He might have rubbed his eyes twice on friday too, if he saw the hot water bottles, which were shaped differently; there was a whale, a helpful lobster who let the pearl out from its shell (& eventually put it back where it belongs), an evil octopus & small sea horses & crabs - but he didn't as he was sleeping home...
That brings to my mind that I was supposed to book a hot water bottle ride for this September - yes the one we were suppose to take already a year ago :0 Perhaps we are lucky with the weather this time around?

The same "LOOK! HOT WATER BOTTLES!!" -scream (really, a scream..) was heard in Linnanmäki Amusement Park few years ago on top of the wooden rollercoaster.
I can´t imagine the day this person eventually WILL spot a real hot water bottle hot air balloon in the sky...
