Kokkola, Early Summer 2010

I spent an long weekend in Kokkola to recharge before I started at my "summer job". Using quotes since what I do feels more serious than a regular summer job but is over the summer and a bit into the autumn.

Here are some pictures from the latest trip to Kokkola. As usual, click through to Flickr for more details, geotags etc.

Met with friends, relatives and enjoyed some record-breaking heats (the Kokkola-region was the hottest place in Finland during the weekend). In short, had an excellent time!

Summer had broken out in Turku too and after a little rain it seems like the chlorophyll is just exploding out of the ground over here, and if you needed more proof that the summer is finally here I will leave you with this picture taken yesterday:

Pictures: Chydenia Center III opens its doors in Kokkola

Last night was the "grand opening" of the third and final section of Kokkolas mall, The Chydenia Center. Almost like something from a bigger city, the walkways and spaces are a little smaller than you are used to in malls so it feels kinda cute in a way but a very nice addition for Kokkola. Several of the shopping spaces were still without tenants, some because work was still being done and others probably because of the economy.

Still learning and experimenting with the more advanced features on my camera (Fujifilm F200EXR). Here are two pictures I took with my new mini-tripod last night. Kokkola by night :).
