UFO

« An Unidentified Furry Object on a Töölö street. I'm guessing it's a bit of tourist kitsch, but wtf is it? A reindeer on two legs with big, sad puppy eyes dressed like a Lapp? »

I found a glossy brochure on a scenic place to take an afternoon walk in the tourist bureau recently, Lahtipolku. The beautiful brochure and map are online but you'll need to read Finnish to understand anything aside from the pictures and map. I put a few of the pictures I took while we were walking the trail up in a Lahtipolku gallery which are from the same set of B&W photos I developed myself recently. The walk is really very enjoyable, scenic and well worth the short metro ride out to where the trail begins. Take something to grill as there is a public grill/picnic spot next to the water near no. 32 on the map. The very end of the trail becomes a little hard to find since the trail isn't specially marked as such so be prepared to enjoy a bit of an adventure.

As I was going through photos of HB I was thinking that I'd ask if anyone had photos of him they'd like to share, we'd be delighted to have a copy if you have the time to scan them in and email them to us. And, again, I'd like to thank everyone for all the email regarding HB. It warms my heart and really has helped ease the trauma a bit.
