Finland trip: October 2010.
In Helsinki, atop Precambrian shield bedrock in the Dromso neighborhood.
Streets of Helsinki, Barbro, me and the sleepy boy.
Helsinki's Temppeliaukio (Rock church). Constructed out of granite, shiny interior roof is copper. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temppeliaukio_Church
Heading north to Ranea, a herd of reindeer pass the road.
Heading to the pegmatite mine.
You land in timeout if you throw snowballs at the miners in the pit.
