Snowy Air Vent

The idyllic old city district "Skata" is the part of Pietarsaari, which is preserved since the town was burnt in mid-1800s. There are many beautiful wooden houses and this is an air vent from one of them.

Flapper Hat


I found this old "flapper" hat in a greenhouse. I think it's been there a long time, and has a really interesting story to tell. I wonder who the young woman was, who lost his hat and never found it again?

Sister Cities
