Following up 2014 the cold summer, 2015 the
midsummer weekend in Finland is consecutively chilly, grey and rainy. It
doesn’t stop us heading back to Central Lake Area, though the swimming suits is
completely out.
Summer time means to me the good food, the relaxation and always the stunning pictures. For the light travelling, I abort packing my Fuji X10 camera, but challenge myself only with iPhone 5S for the whole holidays. My Finnish family loves to decorate the dining table with various tablecloth, I adore this very Eastern European floral pattern to live up the melancholic sky.
Sitting at the lakeside, doing nothing, only
meditating is also one of my favourite projects for the Juhannus holidays. Accompanied
with thousands uninviting mosquitoes this year, I spot that with the change of
the ray of light, the lake and the clouds are echoing an orchestra: they could
be both surging and tranquilizing at the short period of time, swiftly changing
between a silver mirror, cotton candy pile to an emotional sea.
Tracing back to the good old days on
literature researching, I never ever appreciate Henry Thoreau’s Walden (1854). It’s too trivial and
simply plain; I used to jump over chapter by chapter to know what is his
conclusion of Life in the Woods. Nevertheless, I love the quote from Chapter 6,
Visitors, that “I had three chairs in
my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for company.” Mr.
Thoreau, at summer cottage, how about add one more chair and celebrate it as
“four for family”?
Rakastan Juhannusta!
