Sunday 23rd September 2018, 8.35pm (day 2,586)
Time for a change of scene. Finland was the first country other than the UK to appear on this blog, back in September 2011, but it’s been a while (August 2012 to be precise) since I was last here properly. But Oulu is the venue for this year’s ECIL conference, which starts tomorrow, so here I am. This is the second most northerly city I have ever been, after Tromsø. I had only a short time here this evening to wander around, but this hydropower dam, built across the mouth of the main river, was an eye-catching sight. I’m here until Thursday.

Beautiful photo. I know the Place very well, because we have lived in Oulu nearly three years and I have presented huge amount about it.
Happy new week.
