Salt storage (7W)

Exhibition Boom/Room 2000-2008 at the Estonian Architectural Museum

Eesti Arhitektuurimuuseum in an old salt store near the harbour (1st floor exhibition hall pictured above) features Boom/Room exhibition until 3 November featuring most of the 'worth while mentioning' buildings built in Estonia during 2000-2008.

The bizarrely laid exhibition includes buildings for all sort of purposes, from living, working, shopping to education etc, and for purely showing off purposes like some of the large scale residential monstrosities. Exhibition gives a good overview of the economical growth that Estonia has seen in the past years - but shame the museum had no catalogue for the exhibition though.

Valoa ja vauhtia pimeydessä?

= Light and speed in the darkness?

Following emmdee's previous weather related blog I thought to soften the common belief that it is dark for half a year in Finland... and that you can't ride motorcycles during this so called dark half of the year...

For a moment the dark day turned into LIGHTFULL athmosphere & motorcycles (+ good food) when we visited Teclux showroom (Pohj. Hesperiankatu 7, Helsinki) last week, where the selected models of Ducati were competing with the selection of Artemid lights (designs for both from 65 to present day).

Then again did this convince anyone that it is not always dark in Finland and that you can enjoy life during this period? No? Ok then - be like that...
