Time travel to Bryan Adams Concert

Bryan Adams Concert in Helsinki, Finland

I would like to time-travel to a few nights ago. On Wednesday, August 13, I had the opportunity to see Bryan Adams live in concert for the second time. This time it was in Helsinki Ice Hall. My seat was quite close to the stage, so the view was upwards. There was a mike on that part of the stage where he sang a song or two. My first Mr. Adams concert was quite far, so this was even better. Photos below.

I got to see him from about a meter away when he came to the floor to greet the fans. He went to the back of the stadium and performed a song with an acoustic guitar to the fans at the back. I had a great time. Two hours or so just flew by. You know what they say, when you’re having fun, time just flies by.

Here are a few videos from the concert.

Bryan Adams has now been in Finland 15 times in total (that’s what he said during the concert). This time he had two concerts in Finland. He’s welcome back any time. His live concerts are pure entertainment 👍

Only the missing part is left

Tomorrow Friday, it’s the day when I get another diploma. The piece of the missing part is left. This time it’s filmmaking at Helsinki Design School. What else can I do when I have a lot of time on my hands? No more early mornings. I had to get up at 4.30 am to catch the train or bus to Helsinki, but only twice a month. The school has been exciting and fun. I never thought working in a group would be nice. Today we had about making music videos, and we also made one. My group did our own video in total, and the groups only did a little. The outcome of the group projects was great results.

A few photos of my group.

The education has been a great experience. I won’t keep in touch with my classmates, though. But it was nice to meet friendly people like them. They are talented too. This was my 3rd time at Helsinki Design School, and it’s been excellent every time. I won’t experience the same kind of things I have and won’t have the get to the same place anywhere else. I think this is the last time I will go to this school. I’ve already taken all the courses they provide. It’s time to do something else.

This forest is quiet

Forest in Eurajoki, Finland, 2016

I hadn’t realised I hadn’t written this blog in July at all. I have been busy. This forest has been quiet lately. The blog forest that is. My dad decided to quit his business altogether, and I helped him to tidy up the business premises. It’s been a lot of work and dirty. He was a goldsmith. He had the business for over 30 years, so there was a lot of stuff. We have someone to help to clean up the place.

This post is a reminder that I still blog. It has only been quiet lately. The month has gone so fast. This month, weather-wise, hasn’t been too hot over here. I’m glad I don’t live where the forest fires are right now. It’s just terrible over there. It is better to be outside than inside here, so I sit on the balcony or go out in the park. I have a puncture on both bikes, so I haven’t been able to go on bike trips. I haven’t had the time to go and fix them yet. I hope I have the time next week. I have quite missed the cycling thing. It’s good exercise, and you see the scenery much better than from a car.

The filmmaking course is over soon. We have two more meetings in Helsinki in August, and I have another diploma in my hand. It might not mean much, but I’ve studied something I’m interested in, and that is what counts. I wouldn’t get to be taught by professional moviemakers anywhere else. I also got to experience how things work in a TV and movie studio. Or how actors do things in a scene. I already knew about some things, but a repeat is not bad. I also got to meet new people and got to work in a team. Filmmaking is a lot about that. We had a lot of fun too.

This forest of this blog post is quiet again. Thank you for stopping by.
