Hämeenlinna is the nearest big city to Tampere but I have to admit, I haven't been there that often although the train there takes only about 40 minutes.
Hämeenlinna is perhaps most known for its castle which is in its name too, linna = castle and there's also an art museum very near the railway station which both I've visited before, so this time I wanted to concentrate on other places. Other stuff.
Like butterflies, rainbows and unicorns. Well perhaps not unicorns, I lied a little but about butterflies and rainbows I didn't. Oh okay, not rainbows but rainbow coloured umbrellas. Only a tiny lie there.
Then again why photograph art or castles when you can photograph the railway station roof. Should have taken this black and white. Too lazy to fiddle with it anymore. It is what it is.
Besides butterflies are awesome. You should always take a picture of the butterflies you see because one day there aren't any. "Where have all the butterflies gone" you might wonder as the world is scorching and polluted and dying and screaming for help and perhaps thinking about killing all mankind or is that what the earth is actually doing, killing us, just so slowly that we can't see it until it's too late!
Wow. That escalated quickly.
So take a picture. Of every butterfly you see. Sadly it'll probably last longer than the real butterflies species on earth.
Butterfly. Do not see any butter or a fly here. Should be beautyfly. No, beautywing.
Here's more rainbow coloured umbrellas at the place we had a bite to eat.
What an awesome idea. A statement that looks really fancy.
Bus stop art. No entry fee. The sign on the bus stop says: "No attaching notifications". Perhaps they should have added: "No writing notifications and personal ads. We also do not want to know if you've been here."
A perfectly fine bicycle!
"Let's not let covid depress us, buy flowers and brighten your day!"
A flower kiosk ad that seems to have been there since the covid thing started.
A scale model of the factory area where I spent most of the day in Hämeenlinna. Why? Because of the flea markets they have there.
