Santa Claus

In 2011 I visited Rovaniemi the hometown of Santa Claus in Finnish Lapland. It was in the summer with a temperature of 26 degrees C (78.8 F)!

You could have a meeting with Santa Claus which I didn't, I am not a believer, but for children it must be quite an experience. Santa has even a website , you can watch "here"

Taphophile Tragics #1

Blogger Julie from Sydney Eye has openend a meme photoblog about cemeteries called Taphophile Tragics wich caught my eye. I didn't know it had a name but I must admit that I visit cemeteries quite often when I am on hollidays abroad. Don't know why but I am always interested in the stones and names and the way people lay their loved ones to rest.

The above grave is in Sodankyla, Finland where I was last June and I was surprised by the stone faces of this eldery couple. Had never seen this before, mostly you see pictures in glass.
