This is not a lake

This is the Kyrönjoki -river flooding. What I've been reading this is the biggest flooding for many years. This is really a field and if you look really closely there is a barn standing in the middle of the water.

 This road cannot be taken. At least with a normal car. 

Sunset of the plains

The area where Seinäjoki is located is called "Lakeus", the "Plains". We don't have many hills or mountains here. This is the sunset of the plains. My contribution to the skywatch friday.

Harvesting

It't the harvesting time of year and for a week I've been trying to spot a combine harvester to get a photo of it.  Finally I got it.

 

Field Signs

This field signs can be seen from a bird watching tower. Hmm...maybe they are not done by aliens.

The midnight of Juhannus in Nurmo

It is Juhannus, the festival of midsummer now. The sun sets only for few hours. In Lappi, northern Finland sun doesn't set at all. This photo was taken at midnight along a field in Nurmo. Nurmo is part of Seinäjoki.

Towards the City

 

I you look closely, you can see the Lakeuden Risti tower peeking out behind the trees in the center of this photo. It's taken from the edge of the city. Almost at the same place than yesterday's photo, but towards the city, not away from it.

This is how far you can see

You can see this far from the egde of Seinäjoki. This is why the area is called "Lakeus", "The Plains".

Way of living

Here people, especially families with small children prefer living in their own houses. This neighborhood was built about 6-7 years ago. If you look beyond these houses, you can see that  agriculture is strong in this area as the fields open behind those trees.
