Day 12 – Rovaniemi

Rovaniemi is on the arctic circle, is Finland’s most northerly city, and sits on the confluence of two wide, mature rivers – one, Kemijoki, being the longest in Finland. These and the endless forests beyond seem to encircle this island of modernity. Forestry, hunting, fishing, and conservation are big here. As is Santa Claus. Rovaniemi is his official home & has a whole village set aside for him & his elves, and the 1000’s who visit every year.

Being Monday, the public galleries, etc. were all closed, so my day was spent exploring the parks & river walks – and there are lots!

The weather was its unpredictable self but the skies were quite magnificent.

    1. Hi Duncan, thanks for following.
      Photos & videos are from both IPhone 13 mini & GoPro. I use GoPro Qik app. To join them up. Very easy software which accepts non-GoPro images as well.
