On the street. Tomatoes in motion, Lauttasaari, Helsinki.


Last week in Helsinki we have been lucky to enjoy a brilliant sunny weather. One must be happy about this because these are the last days of the real summer in these latitudes. I'm not sure if we can see bare toes until the next June.

On Saturday I went to a local grocery store. In the vegetable department I saw this man buying tomatoes and thought: nice colors, nice straw hat. After a while outside the store a lady walked past me and besides that I loved her red and white outfit with large polka dotted skirt, I felt like the tomatoes had climbed to her skirt to get some sunshine and had grown triple the size they usually are.

By the way. It came to my mind that Moving Tomatoes might be a good name for a band. But what kind of music would that be? Any ideas?

What a beautiful picture. Your drawings are great and I like how you say that "The tomatoes climbed onto her skirt" - almost poetic!

MsK. Nice that you stopped by. By the way, I am a big fan of your blog African Prints in Fashion. Prints is one of my passions and you are presenting the African way of thinking about it just perfectly.
