The terrorist attacks in Paris
I saw the terrible news about the terrorist attacks in Paris in early Saturday morning… and I was shocked. These kind of attacks are TOTALLY uncalled for and NOT needed. Many innocent lives were lost that night… My deepest condolences for the families, friends and relatives of those who were killed. Terrorism should be put[…]
Vancouver, BC, Canada

Aurora Borealis
Last night I saw my first aurora borealis (the Northern Lights) in over 10 years! They were just the usual green-colored ones, and very faint, but it was still nice to see them after such a long time. One of the most beautiful natural phenomena in the world in my opinion!
A poetic cow

Yet another massacre too much (these things just shouldn’t happen, especially not for little kids). As a Finn, I really want to share my deepest condolences for the parents, family members and relatives[…]
