The 'Happy Jazz Club' in Helsinki. Happy? Are you sure they were actually doing jazz...?!?

Token Arty shot (!), taken of the Finlandia concert hall, through a children's snowflake cutout in a museum window...

Then off for the weekend to Emmi's parent's "summer" house, a couple of hours' drive north of Helsinki.
Absolutely gorgeous. I want to live here, and I want a summerhouse of my own : )
Out in front of the main cabin, as we build the fire and put the Gloggi on, the misty dusk descends across the ice...

Possibly the greatest view from a toilet window. Ever!

The view out across the lake from the sauna:

Down to Lahti the next day. FC Kuusysi Lahti appear to have a "ski in, ski out" football stadium at this time of year... genius!

Here is a sad manifestation of global warming. It seems, in this day and age, that you have to go ski-jumping on a simulator inside a museum!!

I managed 95 metres, and only "died" once.
