Going out to nature does good to us, that is generally known. It's always fun, and sometimes you encounter even more. I saw this weekend something special, a first in my life.

One evening here we only had less than two hours before it got dark. Was there any sense in going for a short canoeing tour? Sure was! Wonderful sunset!

The news tell it has been a record breaking hot July in Europe. Not so in Northern Finland, it's been cool here. But there was one hot week (meaning +25C) at the end of July, and we spent that on beaches. See pics!
