Diving For Science – An Autumn of AESD Research Diver School
This year I finally landed in to the field I’ve been interested in since I was four or five – marine biology. As things like this tend to happen to me, this started from a random conversation and an impulsive decision, but turned out to be the most rewarding thing I’ve done in my adult life.
Indiana Janos and The Small Shards of Pottery
This summer I’ve been more broke than in ages, thanks to the move. Ironically enough I also had the first three weeks of paid summer holiday in my life. When I was figuring out what interesting stuff there is to do, an archaeologist pal Grade mentioned that there will be a dig near Turku, where they are excavating a stone age settlement that dates to 2000-4000 BP. I volunteered to be a digger, which turned out to be a pretty awesome experience.
Urban Exploration: Cold Storage Equipment Factory
In the end of May I started hunkering for an another urban exploration trip, since I haven’t been that active in that front since the previous summer. A quick peek in the net revealed that there’s an abandoned industrial location a short train trip away. The place was apparently pretty thoroughly vandalized and there were rumours of it being still guarded, but it was a nice day for photographing, so I grabbed my camera and headed out.
