I have finally managed to get my photos for Finncon online. They’ll make more sense when the con report goes up, but at least they’ll get you started. There are lots of anime costumes, some of them quite spectacular. Also several photos Harald – the Viking restaurant – and of Tampere Cathedral.
Note to John Coulthart – having checked the guide book, it appears that the only painting by Magnus Enckell is the altar fresco (which does indeed include men holding hands, though they are dead). The main fresco is by Hugo Simberg, who also painted the magnificent “Garden of Death”.

Looks like a nice place. Considering that I know virtually no one in the whole of Scandinavia I actually know two people (who don’t know each other) in Tampere. I should try and get over there some time.
The News: there is not only a sushi bar in Jyväskylä, but also The Brand New Viking Restaurant!
