Dandelion Meadow

This meadow is located near the center of Seinäjoki, beside the river. The are not so many places here where you can see this many dandelions at the same time. If I just remember, I will take another shot when they turn white.

Cannon

This cannon stands on the Suojeluskuntatalo's yard.

Cow approaching the street

Where is this cow going? One could get confused seeing this the first time

.... but luckily it is plastic. I think it's promoting some dairy related company.

Ducks

These birds stand on the edge of a fountain in the large

garden of the local mental hospital.

Apple Tree

Apple trees have started flovering. This image was taken in the evening,
that's why the exposure is not as good as it could be.

Paddling

"Kyrönjoen KoskiHäjyt" is the local paddling club. They arrange Wednesday paddlings that are open for everyone. You can try paddling for free after briefing. If you know Finnish you can visit their website.

Columns

This is the balcony of the old hospital of Seinäjoki. Today it serves as one of the local polytechnic's buildings. I wonder why modern buildings cant have columns like this. I like the decorative old style architecture. It's a pity there are not so many buildings here representing this style. I guess this one also needs some new paint on the balcony ceilings.

Sphere reflection

Sorry for the one day gap between the posts. I'm back. If you wonder what this is...It's part of a statue, built to honor entrepreneurs. Self employment and entrepreunership is common and honorable in this area. The statue is standing in the middle of a roundabout. Reflections are always fun, but I like this especially when it is sphere shape.

Cargo

Lots of freight wagons. Wonder what's in them...

Windmill

This old windmill is located near the Östermyra mansion which I posted before. It stands beside a busy road leading through the City.

Seinäkuun Yö

There will be the "Seinäkuun Yö" city festival this evening. There are a lot of performance acts going on around the town. Ofcourse my blog should have a photo from the event today, but sorry: I'm out of town.

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.

"Waterfall"

 

This is as big as waterfalls get here.

Love Padlocks

Sweethearts have been adding these padocks into this fence for sometime now. Seinäjoki flows under this bridge, so I guess the keys have been thrown into the river.

Weather forecast...

...and wind direction. It might promise some rain.
