Just returning from a little trip with my new bike which I purchased for a couple of euro... actually it had been way too expensive, considering it's a bunch of fragile crap! Right now I was visiting the two lakes north and southeast of Linnanmaa, the university's campus: Kuivasjärvi and Pyykösjärvi.


This is where I live, just the 2nd floor on the very right side - yeah, I envy those people living above for their view!



The sunset cycling trip...



One possibility to enter Oulun Yliopisto (the university), the way I take every morning from now on.



Writing this post...

More pictures on facebook!

And one more thing: I won't be able to send or answer any messages since I'm attending the Nordic Nature and Environment Field Course. Have a look at the Oulanka Research Station!

To quote from wikipedia:
Oulanka National Park (Finnish: Oulangan kansallispuisto) is a national park in Oulu and Lapland Provinces, Finland, covering 270 square kilometres (104 sq mi). It borders with Paanajärvi National Park, established in 1992 in Russia. Oulanka National Park is a unique and versatile combination of northern, southern and eastern nature. The landscape is made up of pine forests, river valleys with sandy banks and rapids, and in the north of vast mires. The area is rich in animal and plant species, even endangered ones.

Oulanka is one of the most popular national parks in Finland. The most well-known Finnish trekking route, Karhunkierros, is located in the national park.

Oulanka National Park was established in 1956, after which it has been expanded twice: in 1982 and 1989. The area has been known for its beauty from the late 19th century, when it was a popular stop for artists and naturalists.
