Cabaree and snow-covered Tampere

We went to see a cabaree called @penthouse yesterday in Tampere. The performances of Sari Siikander, Lari Halme and Sami Hintsanen were funny, loud and fast. Sketches mixed with rock music and several delicious characters all presented in an hour made for a start for a really enjoyable evening.

Here are some pictures taken in the middle of Tampere, one of the biggest cities in Finland. Time is slightly before 3PM and the sun is slowly setting. There is about -10 degrees centigrade, no wind and no clouds in sight. It felt damn cold to untrained ears.

Everything was covered in snow. Especially the trees.

A couple of airplanes were flying leaving a pure white jet stream in their wake.

In the horizon, you could see wavy lines of smoke on the otherwise clear sky.

The sun was hardly above the horizon.


We are changing our accommodation right now.
Thank you, Tuula and Tapani for your hospitality. It was fun, seeing you again. The lasagne was delicious, the new bed was just the right size (after it was opened) and the spoon-biscuits were harder than steel. I hope the bruise in the unmentioned place heals soon, Tuula.

On the other side of town, a sauna is warning up, GREAT. I fear that also karaoke equipment is warming up. That's our destination now.
