0115 saturday night / sunday morning.

such a relaxing weekend. thursday and today are rainy but friday and saturday were calm warm days. we rowed around islands, keeping away from the new born seagulls but still getting warning noises from the adult seagulls. we sauna’d and fished from the pier (where i took the above photo) and generally had a great time.

on friday night, all the houses around the lake started to light the traditional bonfire, so smoke wafted straight up until it met the top of the tree line and wind and then it spread out. it looked so beautiful, just a shame those pictures didnt come out all that well.

the highlight of it all though was a crazy neighbour, who randomly went out into the lake in his row boat and started to play old finnish songs (badly) on his accordian. he would put the oars into the boat and just let the current take him whilst the sounds of the accordian floated around the lake. i’ll try and put the audio of it online later tonight along with more pictures from the weekend.
