Kivinavetta

This cowshed was built in 1856 by Gustaf August Wasastjerna. It had room for 100 cows. Later it has been a cement foundry and a paint factory, horse hospital and an arms cache. It has served as a museum now for 50 years. The latest renovation was done in 2010.

Myllypuisto waiting for green leaves

The spring here is not turning into summer yet. The trees don't have any leaves yet. 
This is from a park called Myllypuisto.

Kyrkösjärvi, Ice is gone

Sunny day and some time to go out with that camera. A shot from Kyrkösjärvi. The ice has melted so welcome spring and summer. There was also a guy with a canoe, but didn't get a shot of him.

Water level raises

The river Kyrönjoki has a lot of water during spring.  If there is a threat of uncontrolled flooding, there is a possibility to open some locks and let the water flood on some fields. As you can see, it's a bit grayish here and it's been raining. That is the excuse for not posting photos for a few days.

Swan field

There is a field in Ilmajoki, not Seinäjoki(but close enough), where swans are resting during their spring migration. I counted over one hundred swans, tens of goose and some cranes.

Newspaper factory

This is a printing press factory. Among others, the daily newspaper of this provence "Ilkka" is printed here. The bridge seen on the right takes the newspapers directly to a post office that delivers them to the readers.

Itikka factory

Here is a historical view of Seinäjoki. This old meat factory Itikka, nowdays known as Atria, will be demolished this summer. It will be replaced with a new apartment house area. They planned to leave the chimney, but it was in so bad shape it wasn't safe.

Bell

A construction company just bought the property where this bell belongs to. It is near the Seinäjoki Technology Center Frami. I believe it's going to be replaced by some apartment houses in time.
