Moominvalley

From my walkabout with daughter #1 around city of Tampere.
From the basement of city Library Metso you can find Stone museum (They like to be called Mineral Museum in English, but stone is stone) and Moominvalley.

To access any of them you have to go through these doors. Both were closed at the time, so I didn't go in.

Great thing is there is a Moomin statue just opposite of doorway.

Very strage fellow he is.

If you are interested there is more info about Moomins here and here and here.

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.

The Boss was here

My world on this tuesday included 3 hours of live music by Bruce Springsteen.
The Boss & E Street Band were giving their best at Ratina Stadium, Tampere Finland

First, a little bit queuing with 30 000 others.

After a short waiting they finally started to play.


2 hours 50 minutes constant playing and it was over. Time to leave stadium just in time before the biggest crowd got out.

Next stop Beer bar...

My World Tuesday Issue XXI



My world today is Chill and Snow as you can see from this cool photo.
Weather here in Finland is straight from...should I say where...probably not.
Can't wait for snow to melt down. Should I move to Australia or somewhere?
Well, you can imagine.

My World Tuesday Issue XX

Just recently found out new tuesday challenge.
My World Tuesday Issue Yes yes, it is not tuesday anymore, but I still decided to make my post for your viewing pleasure :-D

The weather in my world here in Finland has been pretty grey and white for few weeks now.
This shot is from nearby where I live, not my house anyway.

I still trust for spring time to come sooner or later. Yesterday it was nice sunny day after all.
