My World today

Today I was walking around on my world with my daughter and my camera.
On my way around the city I took few photos, as usual. Here are some of the best shots.This used to be the finest movie theatre in Finland untill it was shut down 1991.
Nowdays it is a music theatre, where nobody goeas anymore. Atleast I don't know anyone who has visited inside.

Second one is Statue of Liberty of Tampere (oh yes, New York really isn't the only place with statue of liberty). Made 1921 after finnish civil war to memorize liberation of Tampere where Whites overtook Reds.
That happened March-April 1918 which is less than a year after having independence from Russia at 1917.

Then we went to watch some stoned kids playing on a fountain...rather boring to watch them for a long time. So we continued to next stop :-)

That is a church. Curch of Alexander.
Named after Russian emperor Alexander II. This curch was made (or started to build) at 1880. Time when Finland was under Russian rule.

That's my world this tuesday.
