Beautiful pictures Jelena! Did you buy a new camera?

(Edit: Well, the links don’t work because this damn new forum messes the code in them (the changes the space code into an actual space) but at least the pics work)

Pictures from my walk on Sunday. At this place I thought it’d be a perfect setting for a Skyrim (fan) film I’ve been here countless times, but rarely on winter, especially with such deep snow. Coming from the bottom:

That’s a bear statue covered in snow in that “cave”. The stairway leads up above to the cliff with 200-300 steps (I can’t remember how much anymore).

Another pic (with one of the little landings, too)

The stairs are of course completely covered in snow, which made it an interesting hike up there (at the steepest parts you basically had to drag yourself by the rail, but it was kinda fun)

The view from above:

Another pic

And to top the whole Skyrim feel, there’s also this tower at the top:

And there’s a couple more in the gallery. The park is definitely one of my favorite places… anywhere, really

Beautiful with all those pine trees! I have no idea about the game you’re talking about, but it’s always a lot of fun to visit places that resemble places in games. Can you give a Google Maps link that shows where it is? Google has an option to make it a short link. Maybe that works.

Oww that must hurt! One of the many nurses I’ve seen in my life tried four times to get something out of my knee with a thick needle to find out whether I had gout or not. You can really be in your own world of pain. Nothing else exists for you then. Not something I’d recommend .

Haha, we can see you’ve not heard about Skyrim But Skyrim, as in Elder Scrolls V - one of the biggest, most spoken about games of 2012 (well, it was released 11/11/11). The “arrow in the knee” jokes were everywhere (it’s a comment in the game)... The ad campaign was so massive, we even had ads for it in trams here in Helsinki.

Anyway, here’s a link:

Hope it works

If it opens in that picture like it does for me, as you well know you can get the map bigger from the tiny map preview in the bottom corner. And, you know, to get an idea where you are zoom out Haha, yay for overexplaining… Anyway, no Street View in the immediate vicinity.

(Edit): Oh, and of course, the town is Hämeenlinna, my home town. I’ve shown pictures before, too. If anyone remembers the castle by the river for example.

Oh my, thank you so much!

Oh, and for the other pictures, the links don’t work because the forum code changes the % 20 in the link into a space, which of course breaks the link. So, in fact here:

Copy that, and into the part with the space, put % and then 20 (without any spaces, of course) and it should work.

Nice pics Jelena! I would put the trees a bit to the side next time though. In that way you can see what is behind the trees.
You can resize the pics with a photoeditor like The Gimp. It runs on all platforms, takes some getting used to but it’s quite simple to adjust the colors, brightness and contrast with it, as well as resize pictures. If you want I can help you with it.
