Retreat of tranquility, part II

Southern Taivalkoski.

Warm rain in sunshine, Iijoki (Ii river) in the dead of night, savusauna , Alpine roses (Rosa pendula) in the forest in bank of the river, Eurasian woodcock ‐ my lucky bird, mandatory reindeer picture, rowing boat; it was a challenging to fish alone in a hard stream though, my favourite lure: Rapala's Minnow Spoon on the door of savusauna.

It was in vain to row from Norgay to Boston just to watch Allsvenskan-squad losin 1–4.

Cods, that really was a shameful game, a cunning stunt to your fans and football community. Throwing the players under the bus, especially the goalie. I hope so much that The Elephants squeeze you into the form of cod liver oil.

Story:

Finnish inspired Tolkien's Elvish J.R.R. Tolkien, writer, philologist and Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, was deeply fascinated by Finnish. He used it as the basis for Quenya, the Elvish language in The Lord of the Rings. The Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, a 19th-century collection of old folk poetry, also influenced the mythology of Middle-earth.

Tolkien described encountering Finnish as being like "discovering a wine cellar filled with bottles of amazing wine of a kind and flavour never tasted before." He added that it quite intoxicated him. For a man who spent his life around languages, that is a considerable thing to say.

Pitäkää kissat sisällä prkl

Nyt on kaiken lisäksi lintujen pesimäaika; nurmikoilla ja metsien pohjilla taapertaa helppoa evästä tai huvikseen tapettavaa.

Astronomical midnight 01.16 in Oulu at 12th of June 2026

1st. Low exposure but this shows the right colour of the Sun's hiding place about ‐2⁰ under the horizon.

2nd shows the colours of the sky and clouds correctly. Birch trees line the peaceful road.

3rd a little bit to northeast where the clouds are in many shades of purple.

4th heavy underexposure just for fun and because it was possible. These blood-red dawns are rare, but unforgettable.

Photos taken with Samsung Galaxy 22 Ultra with fully manual settings.

I love these nights so much ❤️
