Comment by Sartenada — February 15, 2017 @ 12:48 |
My daughter and I loved looking at the photos. We are planning on moving to Oulu next year 🙂
Comment by Becoming Finnish — February 15, 2017 @ 11:19 |
Hello Hayley.
Very nice to read Your comment. Thank You. We love Oulu. It is beautiful town, lovely sceneries, some great happenings, walkable and bikeable town, University garden, cozy restaurants and its marketplace in the summer is full of life. It has excellent beach (Nallikari), which we love very much. We do not live regularly in Oulu, but we live in Helsinki and visit often Oulu. I can recommend Oulu to You and Your family.
Welcome. Have a good day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 15, 2017 @ 13:06 |
Thank you for taking the time to tell me about Oulu – it sounds like a wonderful place to live and raise a family. I have visited there a couple of times and think it is beautiful and has a nice vibe 🙂
Comment by Becoming Finnish — February 15, 2017 @ 13:19 |
Hi again.
To raise a family in good place is important – big thinking! Helsinki is big, but Oulu is not too small, but big enough. It offers everything for everybody. In midwinter, the length of day is only few hours, but summer nights, they are short. In midsummer, there is only twilight, no real nights. 🙂 My wife loves its library. Last week borrowes three books for example. 🙂
Comment by Sartenada — February 15, 2017 @ 14:01 |
Maybe fun time also for me!😄
Comment by kanaconnie — February 15, 2017 @ 12:06 |
Hi Connie.
To me also. Thank You for Your visit and kind comment.

Your photos are delightful with the happy faces and the colorful coats,mittens and caps. I would enjoy a reindeer ride,and a slide down the hill.😄
Comment by Deb — February 15, 2017 @ 14:07 |
Hello Deb.
Thank You. Slide down was a big pleasure for me when being child. I used baking tray to slide down – it went fast! 🙂
Have a good day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 15, 2017 @ 14:15 |
Oh, those happy, rosy faces! This looks like fun for any age, really!
Comment by KerryCan — February 15, 2017 @ 15:04 |
Hello Kerry.
So kind comment. Thank You. It is always a great joy to see happy kids.
Have a good day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 16, 2017 @ 08:19 |
Wonderful fun photos! I have never seen the double ski thing with handle bars. I love the expressions of the kids sliding on the one piece of plastic! Watching them makes everyone smile.
Comment by Marilyn Albright — February 15, 2017 @ 15:33 |
Hello Marilyn.
Well, “double ski thing with handle bars”, I think that they are modern kicksleds. Normally we have traditional kicksledges on our countryside. Here is a photo showing:
Kicksledge with wheels.
Thank You commenting. Have a nice da!
Comment by Sartenada — February 16, 2017 @ 08:42 |
It looks as if everyone — not just the children — was having fun. Wonderful photos.
Comment by seniorhiker — February 15, 2017 @ 16:33 |
Hello George.
When children have fun, parents are happy also. Thank You.
Have a good day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 16, 2017 @ 08:45 |
Looks like they all enjoy the snow activities. 🙂 To have a reindeer ride or a such a speedy slide down the hill – this really must be fun. I would smile, too. ^^
Have a nice day, Matti.

Comment by ladyfromhamburg — February 15, 2017 @ 17:39 |
Hello Michèle.
Thank You leaving Your kind comment. To me who lives in Finland, it was awesome to see reindeers in the “south”, because Oulu is in the middle of Finland. Nobody has ever told to us.
Have nice day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 16, 2017 @ 08:49 |
Lovely post!

Children certainly do enjoy winter activities! It’s nice to see them doing it!
Comment by montucky — February 15, 2017 @ 18:37 |
Hello Terry.
You are right. It is great that winter do not cut off hobbies and activities. Thank You.
Have a good day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 16, 2017 @ 11:05 |
Bonsoir Matti
Ils sont heureux ces bout de chous dans la neige.
Les rennes sont magnifiques. Très belles photos.
Bonne soirée à toi !
Comment by vever02 — February 15, 2017 @ 20:27 |
Bonjour Hervé.
Merci pour la gentil remarque. Nous aimons les rennes beaucoup. C’était une gran surprise de les trouver au milieu de la Finlande. 🙂
Belle journée à Vous aussi.
Comment by Sartenada — February 16, 2017 @ 11:13 |
Great pictures. For some reason I never made it up to the North during winter time. I was only once even up to Levi and that was during summer time, same as Oulu and Rovaniemi where I was for competitions =/
Comment by CrazyChineseFamily — February 15, 2017 @ 21:20 |
Hello Timo.
Thank You for Your kind comment. Best time to visit Lapland is in autumn due to its colorful landscapes and in winter to find and experience Winter Wonderland. These are my personal opinions.
Have a nice day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 16, 2017 @ 11:30 |
Indeed autumn time looks stunning in Lappland!
Comment by CrazyChineseFamily — February 16, 2017 @ 13:36 |
Yup Timo.
Comment by Sartenada — February 16, 2017 @ 14:09 |
The one which I want to get on the sled of the reindeer, and there is not in sled Japan of the ski is worthless.
Always think, but is colorful, and the Finnish jacket is very wonderful; a design is at all Kool!

Lindas as fotos!!!! Elas me inspiraram a sair e a brincar na neve com eu filho!!!
Obrigada por mostrar nas suas fotos essa magia que muitas vezes é difícil de enxergar com a correria do dia a dia!
A Finlândia vista por suas lentes é simplesmente cheia de encantos!
Saudações

Oi Roberta.
Tudo bem Roberta? Fico feliz que você gostou das minhas fotos! Obrigado. Eu desejo que você tenha o grande divertimento do inverno com seu filho. O inverno é o tempo fantástico também, não só o verão.
Bom Fim de Semana!
Comment by Sartenada — February 17, 2017 @ 08:22 |
It’s so easy to fall in love with Finland just by looking at your photos! I was lucky enough to visit the capital last month. Cheers from Norway! 😉
Comment by maerose007 — February 17, 2017 @ 08:47 |
Hello Maerose.
Thank you for Your praising comment. Norway is gorgeous country. We have visited there few times like in Nordkapp and Kirkenes. I have posts about them also. 🙂
Happy weekend.
Comment by Sartenada — February 17, 2017 @ 08:53 |
So much of this look like Canada except the reindeer pulling the little sleds! That is fabulous.
Comment by Sue Slaght — February 17, 2017 @ 23:18 |
Hello Sue.
Thank You for Your kind comment. Today we will visit the same happening. The best part of it is
Reindeer driving competition,
which open for everyone. This maybe unique in the whole world. Let us hope that I will catch some nice photos.
Happy weekend!
Comment by Sartenada — February 18, 2017 @ 09:20 |
A reindeer driving competition? That sounds amazing! Would love to see it.
Comment by Sue Slaght — February 20, 2017 @ 08:33 |
Hi, Sue. This year’s reindeer race (open for everyone) was yesterday. It was cool race with great fun and I try to make my post about it, maybe on next week’s Wednesday, I will publish it. I said to my wife that next year I will participate in it and she has to shoot photos. It would be cool if You next year would visit it in Oulu and at the same visit also Snow Castle and the Arctic Circle. There are many interesting places in Lapland to explore. I can present to You ideas for Your visit. If You are really interested to see this race or even to participate in, then tell to me, that I can tell to You more exactly when next race will be. Normally it will be on next Saturday after mid-February.
See You in Oulu in next February?
Happy new week.
Comment by Sartenada — February 20, 2017 @ 08:40 |
So kind of you to offer to give us the information on a visit to Lapland! It definitely would be fun to see. I’m not sure what 2018 is going to bring at this point but again am so grateful for your offer. Should we get planning a trip in the future I will definitely reach out to you for suggestions. Thanks!
Comment by Sue Slaght — February 20, 2017 @ 15:18 |
You’re welcome.

Chirdren photos is very good.
full of expression!
Comment by キース — February 18, 2017 @ 11:57 |
Hello Keith.
Well, reindeer with three reindeer antlers means that it has already lost one of its antler. Reindeer antlers grow once in a year. I give here link that You know better:
トナカイ枝角.
Thank You.

Hello Tasmanian traveller.
