Visit in Home country

I visited in my home country and home town Nokia.
Belive me, Nokia is really city in Finland. http://www.nokiankaupunki.fi/matkailu/foreign_visitors/
Yes I know Nokia is producing also "some" mobile phones and networks, but everything started from Nokia city by rubber and paper industry and much later with mobile phones.))
If you don't know, where it's situated, maybe you know neighbouring cityTampere. It's little bit bigger and about 200km to north from Helsinki. I was just studying in Tampere University 3 days and hadn't time to do anything else.
Well yes some photo shooting only, my photos are from Tampere.

This nicely situated "cottage" is one landmark, it's old shot tower.
Another land mark of Tampere is Näsinneula the highest building in Finland. (almost 170m)

From the walking bridge of Tammerkoski you can find "Love-locks". Who ever can just fasten their lock to there and the most of them are with engraved names. Nice idea! If you feel so, bring your lock to Tampere.))
Returning back to Russia wasn't so nice! I made it by car.
There was huge queue on the border-crossing and even that I passed really unjust way about 300 cars I still spent altogether 3,5 hours in queue (( ...no Duty free shopping, I just sat in the locked car, I scared that those who I passed will beat me up.)) Queue didn't move at all!!  
Yeah next time by train!!!

  2. Moi, its the rest part of Planning room ) Fully agree with Tanya: pics are nice!

    However, you were super lucky not just because none beat you up, but mostly because Russian customs didn´t put you in prison for smuggling...coffee, cookies....

    Btw, plane is also a good option :)
