Movie(s)



I saw these two movies last week.
The cartoon "Lettre à Momo / A Letter to Momo" was very good. This cartoon lasted two hours but I was not bothered, and my daughter also loved it too. I'm a fan of Japanese cartoons. And it is always a pleasure to delve into the typical Japanese scenery (villages, houses, etc.).

"Le majordome / The butler" : Interesting historical level, this film allowed me to refresh my memory on various U.S. presidents and especially the history of the struggle for equality of black people in the U.S.

Have you seen it?

Corner view / roadsides (of Finland)

When I saw the theme for this week, I was annoyed because I couldn't find what pictures could illustrate this. Usually when I take pictures, I'm rarely roadside. And finally, I thought of our vacation in Finland in 2010 where we rented a car to go to the southeast of the country, near Lake Saimaa. My husband was driving and I was taking photos :) we often stopped to enjoy the landscapes of absolute calm.


We set off from Helsinki.



Stop in Porvoo, a beautiful and charming town on the banks of a river.


Then, go east (but not to St Petersburg, we didn't have a visa for this).


 Saimaa lake near Lappeenranta (20 km from the Russian border).




 Saimaa lake near Savonlinna.



 Back to Helsinki. Everywhere on the roadside we saw these signs .... my daughter had tired eyes as she was looking for elks constantly ... without success :)


You can also find this on the roadside ... ;)

DYE / australian aboriginal mask ... and also a little swedish

 Why a so complicated title? Because if you bought the Raskog furniture from Ikea you will recognize (perhaps...) the package. As soon as I saw this package, I thought of a mask. I painted dark purple and I made ​​lots of small circles with a small bamboo. For the moment, it's hung near the Japanese fabrics but I'm not sure it will stay there!




This is the famous Ik*a trolley on wheels...don't throw the packaging ;)

Tonight, I wanted to dive into my photos of China.
It's been a year since we went there ... the time flies ...
So here are some (foggy) pictures about Temple of Heaven located in Beijing.
Many tourists on this site surrounded by a nice big park.
