Overview - Looking down on Jyväskylä from the Observation Tower.


 

Landmark - It took a while, but I finally found a ski jump.


 

Russian Tech - John Clute tries to get to grips with Irma's Lada.

 

Beautiful Design - Finnish buildings always seem to look good. This is a small tourist attraction called Kamana in the town of Keuruu. It contains an art museum, the local tourist office and a nice restaurant where Irma and I stopped for a coffee on our way to Tampere.


 

Windmill - No, it is not for electricity generation, nor for grinding wheat. This windmill was originally designed for raising water from a well.


 

Train - Well I couldn't go all that way to Finland without finding some trains to photograph for Kevin, could I?


 

Train Inards - A nice idea, having the boiler open for kids to see how a steam engine works.


 

Boys of All Ages - Sadly this is an American toy. It says Rio Grande Railway.
