Musiikkia, festivaaleja ja ilotulituksia, sitä on Sveitsin kesä! Minulla on ollut ilo viettää pitkän Suomi-loman sijaan, kesää tänä vuonna täällä kotosalla ja en voi valittaa, sillä kelit ovat olleet aivan mahtavat. Kesä on ollut kaikin puolin oikein loistava, olen saanut nauttia monista kivoista tapahtumista sekä olemme harrastaneet kotimaanmatkailua ja nähneet monia upeita paikkoja.
Elokuun aloittaa Sveitsin kansallispäivä ja eripuolilla järjestetään lukuisia tapahtumia, muutoin kuukausi jatkuu samalla kaavalla: Musiikkia, festivaaleja ja ilotulituksia!
Elokuu on lomakuukausi ja mekin suuntaamme Suomeen pienelle lomalle, täytyypä katsastaa Helsingin tapahtumat…
Mukavaa lomaa kaikille lukijoille!
Jos olet syntynyt elokuussa,
niin käymme sieniretkellä.
Iltapäivällä, sadesäällä,
sopivalla hetkellä.
Sienisäkkiin saalis voita:
rouskuja ja haperoita.
-Uppo Nalle-
Minne mennä tänään? - elokuu -

Dans la peau de Hundertwasser
Quartier Libre SIG decided to pay tribute to this Austrian painter who, throughout his life, encouraged and developed, an environmentally-friendly way of living. Across his works and architecture, he attempted to reconcile the human and his environment in the hope of re-establishing a place of living in harmony with nature. The exhibition features Hundertwasser’s visual and architectural works proving his commitment to sustainable development and rejection of conformity. From painting to architecture, Hundertwasser lets the colour burst out, eliminates the straight geometrical line and tirelessly invites vegetation to expand.
