This sculpture in the Aurajoki River is called Harmony by Achim Kuhn.

Turku Castle, Finland

Built in the 1280s, Turku Castle has been preserved as a prime example of Finland's heritage.

Turku, Finland

Today I drove to Turku, about 50 km. west of Salo. Turku is the oldest city in Finland, and one of the largest. A river runs through Turku as well. In this picture we see the pharmacy museum, a building that dates back to 1700.

Salo, Finland

Yesterday, I flew from Jonkoping to Copenhagen to Helsinki and drove about 100 km west to Salo. A pretty town with a small river running through it; right in front of my hotel actually.

Grenna, Sweden

Grenna is a beautiful small town close to Jonkoping in Sweden. They claim to have invented the candy cane. In 1859 a widow started making "peppermint rocks" to support herself. However, these striped red and white sticks have no hook at the end...so I don't know...

Jonkoping, Sweden

I've been in Jonkoping all week, but of course didn't get around to taking any pictures until the weather changed from beautiful to crappy. Here we see the edge of downtown as viewed from the pier on the lake.
