I thought it was my computer's slowness and intended to return. Which now, since you've told me you've made it easier, I will do. That sounds very didactic, 'pay attention', but in fact it should be a mindfulness mantra for us all, I guess.<br /><br />Now the leaves are falling fast here, and while London has plenty of green spaces to observe it, I long to get out into the wilds. Various commitments currently preventing that.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-80285421807544127552015-10-25T16:09:52.440+00:002015-10-25T16:09:52.440+00:00David: Yes, important always to remember the "...David: Yes, important always to remember the "inner camera" in such a case. Speaking of sharing, I just hope you were able to see the latest set of Innisfree images as fall unfolded, for at least one correspondent wasn't able to view most of the 2 slideshows (I've changed that and combined all into a single slideshow, which at least is working fine among the folks in my house). You were definitely the inspiration for this, BTW, with your reminder and encouragement to pay attention to Innisfree through the changing of the seasons. This fall has been absolutely splendid all around us here; I'm only sorry Innisfree closed 10/18, though I did get one more smaller set from the last weekend which I'll post anon. See also you have a new post up, and I'll look forward to getting there within the next few days. I hope, most of all, that one day you and J will get a chance to see for yourself!Susan Scheidhttps://prufrocksdilemma.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-56794492280052447392015-10-20T23:23:25.125+01:002015-10-20T23:23:25.125+01:00Glad you think so too, Sue.

There's more on the specifics of the hall(s) in the 'TAD in Lahti' piece. And Larry sent me some wonderful shots of his own which compensate for the loss of my own sunset-over-lake pics. It does teach one that everything remains in the 'inner camera' of the mind, but it's fun to be able to share, as you well know with your superb Innisfree images.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-16364779881720028302015-10-20T20:01:26.026+01:002015-10-20T20:01:26.026+01:00The sculptures are perfectly in tune with their en...The sculptures are perfectly in tune with their environment, aren't they? And of course your photographs display that beautifully, including the seamless transition to nature's own sculptures. Glad to get. A glimpse of the concert hall in Lahti, too. Keeping a good thought that your camera will turn up.Susan Scheidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250142489341777926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-66888642961165991902015-10-20T16:55:51.924+01:002015-10-20T16:55:51.924+01:00Neither case, alas, Larry ((thank you).

The trees in question were signed, like the sculptures (though in the latter case there were no English 'subtitles' - I had to get my Finnish friend Anneli to translate the names for me). I know my rowans, silver birches and beech trees, but not the various types of conifer and still doubt if I could tell them apart.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-62392370363966994732015-10-20T16:42:25.885+01:002015-10-20T16:42:25.885+01:00David, your woodland images of Kariniemi Park and ...David, your woodland images of Kariniemi Park and Olavi Lanu sculptures and their accompanying descriptions are marvelous. The nature references must have required extensive botanical research unless you know(?) the tree species by heart. Wow, in either case!Larry Kingnoreply@blogger.com
