Åland Islands

NEW TERRITORY

Mariehamn, Aland Islands,  Finland August 2013


The Åland Islands or Åland (Swedish: Åland, Swedish pronunciation: Finnish: Ahvenanmaa) is an autonomous, demilitarised, monolingually Swedish-speaking region of Finland that consists of an archipelago lying at the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia in the Baltic Sea.

This postcard is sent from Mariehamn a capitol of Aland. I liked this card a lot and sent it on my adress :) yeah maybe little selfish but to me looked very nice. Info of ship is written on back ground of card as you can see. Mariehamn is very nice and cool place, with not so much things to do, i got conclusion that on Aland u can come and stay longer like seven or more days to get bike and enjoy all Islands there or to visit capitol before none and continue to Turku like it did.

Kemi (Northern Sami: Giepma) is a town and municipality of Finland. It is located very near of the city of Tornio. It was founded in 1869 by royal decree, because of its proximity to a deep water harbour.Kemi  has a claim to fame as the home of the world's largest snow castle (reconstructed every year with a different architecture). The snowcastle is usually located at the inner harbour of Kemi.;uch more about Kemi HERE

Kiroileva Siili

Kiroileva Siili, Finland 15-7-2010

What a suprised when i got this card from finland, postman totlay suprised me cause i never expected such card, i love  this comics and i  use one of this  as avatar at many places ever here at blogger.Kiroileva siili (Finnish for "the swearing hedgehog")is a comic strip written and drawn by Finnish artist Milla Paloniemi from Vantaa.The strip stars a hedgehog, who is aggressive and prone to profanity, and the last panel of the strip is usually abundant with swearwords. The strip received attention when it was featured in the Ilta-Sanomat newspaper in January 2007, which caused the self-published album Kiroileva siili to rise as the top-selling comic album of the Academic Bookstore. In February 2007, the publishing company Sammakko published a hardcover collection of Kiroileva siili strips, which rose to the most-sold book in Finland for the entire spring. At the Kemi comics days in 2007, Milla Paloniemi was awarded the Strippi-Lempi award for her comic Kiroileva siili. In 2008, the strip won its first Comics Finlandia prize. And if anyone is interested now can see some comis online at official site of  Kiroileva siili
