Hello!
Yes! below an actual real deal color!
I was wearing:
...Or actually a more exciting part. Karelia is known for its brutal northern natural beauty so there is no way of visiting it without spending a handful of time in the wild. To do so we visited Ruskeala natural park. The main attractions there are man made canyons. The Swedes and later on Finnish and Russian in the end mined marble there. Beautiful green-blue marble laid very close to the surface there, in some places it was even out to the air. As mining kept on they finally hit the subterranean waters and the mines was all but flooded. It left us with what makes Ruskeala national park so beautiful.
It was pretty cold there and we were walking around there for hours so I am wearing a super light sweater and foldable Uniqlo anti-wind jacket above from wind and possible rain. and yes I wear flip flops. Call me crazy but it's the most comfortable shoes for me ever. My feel barely feel cold so I feel perfect walking around that way. Bonus points for super easy ground in the place of wonderful nature (or some say power).
I know you new this would happen. Flooding you with photos of Ruskeala.
I hope you liked the virtual tour! Karelia is so beautiful! I want to come back there again some day
Uniqlo pants, jacket and sweater
Adidas flipflops
Have a nice day,

ReplyDeleteYou are like me with flip flops and a hoodie! I do the same thing, and so many people think I'm crazy for it. Glad to see I'm not the only one. Your pictures of Karelia make me want to jump on a plane and go! It is absolutely beautiful and clearly worth the time to visit and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWe should start a flip flops club! The great outdoors flip flops
DeleteThank you for sharing your photos - they are all so beautiful! I can see why you wanted to spend time outdoors with that incredible area to explore! I do the same thing when it comes to flip flops - I live in Canada and I'll wear flip flops right up to the first snowfall, sometimes even later lol They are so comfortable, I can't help myself.
ReplyDeleteyes! Now I feel we are even more alike than thought! I dunno why but I am hyper excited about it
DeleteWhat a beautiful place! The colour of that water is unreal. Love that picture of your alongside the wooden carving!
