Again from Itikka factory

As you can see this was taken before the snow came. This is the demolition site of the Itikka meat factory. I was kind of hoping they would bring down the chimney all at once (time informed in advance). However, if looked closely it can be seen that piece of it is already missing. Seems that they are bringin it slowly down piece by piece.

Dark winter times

I haven't got a very good excuse for not posting everyday now. But I have one: The days are getting very short and it's already dark here when you leave from work after office hours. I don't like posting "night shots" or indoor photos day after day. That's why there will not be a photo every day. I will still try my best in posting regularly in the winter time also.

Winter river

The landscape changed rapidly. Everything looks very winterly.

The first snow

The weatherman was right. Now we have some snow. It snowed all night. People with summer tires had some problems this morning.

XL food

I think this is kinda funny place for a restaurant. Even for a fast food restaurant. Meaning the building that has XL written on the window. It resides between  different service sheds and you can buy for example a tractor or a steam shovel from the businesses in the neighborhood. The name of the restaurant, XL Buffa, might refer to a lunch buffet having pizza, kebab, fries etc..

Time for winter tires

The weather man said its going to snow this week. So it was time to change winter tires. Winter tires are mandatory in Finland between December and February. Mostly they are used between November and April. This dependes on the weather conditions. For some reason it's a hab

Railcar

This kind of railcars are used on quieter railroutes.  believe the railcar model is called dm12 and it can carry about 63 passengers.  Too bad it was on the rear track so the van and the trailer block the view a bit. I have no idea why they are in between the tracks.

Fall colors

This fall there hasn't been as much beautiful autumn colors than one could hope. Here are some and all in one single rowan tree. The orange mail box somehow fits.

Dragonforce

The British powermetal band Dragonforce paid a visit to Rytmikorjaamo, Seinäjoki yesterday. I only got some poor quality photos with my small camera. This one is the best I can offer. 

As a bonus a short video clip from the beginning of the gig

Lakeuden Risti - indoors

The main lutheran church of Seinäjoki, Lakeuden Risti. Indoors. 

This photo was actually taken in July, but I spared it for bad weather days.

Still raining ...

It's has still been raining today. Not as much as yesterday and the day before, but still. This is not exactly in Seinäjoki. It is in Ilmajoki, the neighbouring municipality. This road had to be closed yesterday.

 

This is Pajuluoma today

  

 This is Pajuluoma in Summer, I believe the water wasn't in it's normal level even then.

 

This is the river Seinäjoki near the techology center Frami yesterday. You can see only one row of stones on the edge.

 

 This is the same place in summer.  Here you can see three rows of stones and something else under them. So I would say the water is about 30-40 cm higher than usual in yesterdays photo.

Raining ...a lot.

It has been raining for a few days. Someone said we have had one month's rain in two days. There are roads flooding and water level still raises in the rivers. Firefighters are fighting the water out from a school's kitchen nearby. Even in our yard there is so much water that we are pumping it with a submersible pump that it will not flood our playhouse. I hope it will stop raining soon.

The other Ferrari

Only some time ago I posted a photo of a Ferrari. I wrote that there might be another Ferrari in town too. Well here it is.

Music Store Järvenpää Gone

One piece of history in musical hobbies in this town is gone. The traditional building of Music Store Järvenpää was demolished. Something new is coming to replace it. We'll see what it is. As a bonus a before and after combination below.

Construction work continues

It's been a rainy day. I quess it shows in the photo.
