Played hundreds of gigs in the capital
at a whole lot of different venues over
the years, but never really noticed before,
how insanely beautiful the city really is.

Yes , I can tell ya are , makes me smile all the way over here in the states

oh ,

here's me with my Beard long

He had almost a comic book style years before comics.

Yup.

Not sure what to call his style...national romantic naïvism of sorts?

Hmmyeah, maybe, but lack depth they do not.

The frescoes in the National Museum ceiling are sort of a greatest hits
showcase of Gallen-Kallela's whole Kalevala idea world - and truly awe-
inspiring.

Here he is in 1928, looking a bit crazy    
in the early stages of the work at the Museum:

OK...last day touristing in beautiful Helsinki.
Spent it, so far, taking in the absolutely fantastic
jugend/art noveau fairy tale milieu around our hotel
in Katajanokka

Photographs don't really cut it, has to be experienced
first hand, but here's a few good ones:

Sucks to hop on the train North and leave both love and city

...but country boy needs to return to his redneck clan
and backwater 1-horse town in dark, menacing, cave man Pohjola

Had a swell time, cheers!

We've taken many a walk in the Eira area because Mason prefers to poop among the rich.
