It looks cold, but at least the sun was bright.

I did laugh when I saw the klompen (clogs) … are they Dutch imports or do Finns use them like the Dutch do? They are preferred by farmers in winter because they keep out water in shushy ground and so your feet stay drier. I love those warm looking slippers and the sausages on the BBQ plate look delicious.
Most of all I’m pleased to see that that market goes ahead in spite of the snow and the cold, people dress warm and turn up anyway.
The houses are lovely, such different architecture than here in The Netherlands…. thanks for the photos 🙂

Hi Sartenada,
What a marvelous walk! I am enjoying the pure and cool snow images( trying to mentally cool down on a very warm Spring day outside Paris).
That market was big and varied.
Thanks for bringing us along on the walk ;).

Your new hometown looks like a very beautiful place. The Winter Market is huge, and I was impressed with all the crafts that are available. Thanks for taking us with you.

The shops are very interesting. It sounds to take many hours to see all of them. 🙂

Mikkeli is a very attractive town! It was interesting to see the market in the winter. It would be unusual here to have an outdoor market that was operating when it was cold and snowy.

Everything looks so pleasant there! I loved the market and especially the shop with all of the skis and snowshoes!

I like your new town more and more with every series of photos. It looks like a lovely and convenient place to live – especially since you can walk to so many places. It’s nice to see the snow – it is a very hot day at home today!

Brrrrr! – Looks cold – I’m happy we have summer now 🙂 How is weather in Finland now?

- Hi Truels.
  
  Thank You for Your visit and comment. Man invented clothes against cold! 🙂 Well it is normal summer weather here meaning that temperatures vary between 24ºC and 18ºC. Few weeks ago Finland was the hottest place in Europe. Even in the northernmost part in Utsjoki there was 31.6ºC. As You know weather can vary very much from a day to another.
  
  Have a great day!

I love seeing how life carries on in the dead of winter! There’s no such thing as bad weather…just bad clothes. Beautiful images from the market especially, even with the Dutch wooden shoes. 🙂

- Hi Ginnie.
  
  Thank You commenting. Yes, You aright, because cold is purely clothing thing. Proper winter clothing prevents cold. Besides, man will get accustomed pretty quickly to cold weather. Those Dutch wooden shoes were huge. I remember correct, they were about half a meter long.
  
  Happy Wednesday!

I love the idea that it is business as usual in your winter markets out there. I love those reed baskets and I see also a pair of Dutch “klompen” or wooden shoes. Or are those wooden shoes also something typically Finnish? 😉

- Hello Malou.
  
  They are typically Dutch, but I have seen some men using on a building site.
  
  Have great day!
