Let's go swimming together in all sorts of places. We'll also look at swimming in history, art, literature, film, TV in fact any way swimming can be painted, photographed, filmed, written or mused about.
Tuesday, 4 July 1989
Lahti, Finland
Pool at the bottom of the ski jump, Lahti, Finland. Obviously, it's covered with snow when the ski jump season is in session!
I am laughing just now:o) How did you found this photo? My daughter is living in Lahti and she loves to swim with her children during a winter in swimming pools inside. Lakes are best during a summer! It´s nice to read your blog, I am the biologist and have been teaching in many schools and also in the university of Joensuu - didactic!!
mimmu - my husband and I visited my Finnish penfriend in Tampere in 1989. They took us on a little trip to various places, including Lahti, when we went to the top of the ski jump, looked down and.....
Ooh, but why didn`t you ask for a slide and then you could slide down straight to the pool:)? Seriously,it`s a huge "hill". Have you been writing still with this penfriend?
Yes, though not as frequently now. We have been penfriends for about 35 years now. I hope they will make it to Australia one day! Now her kids are grown it may become possible.
