I noticed many of you guys were asking about what it is that I was pointing at.
I was pondering how to show it to everyone, so I made a video.
So here's a short clip showing you all what it was.
And here's the photo showed on the video:
Watching over the pond of Pikku-Vesku
Edit: The statue enacts the flight of three swallows, and is named "Vauhtia" ("More speed"), created by the sculptor Oskari Jauhiainen for the municipality of Lahti in 1951. It was commissioned after a competition for a statue on the Market Square in 1954, and paid out of a testament fund. In 1961 it was moved from the Market Square in to the Pikku-Vesijärvi pond. As a nifty little detail, it is also a water fountain.
P.S. Today's photos will likely be a bit late, since I haven't even shot them yet and am running out of ideas. ;) It's kinda difficult to push the envelope each day. I might even end up taking a crappy smartphone photo. :D
