Postin sähköauto mainostaa kyljessään välittävänsä ”puhtaasti”, mutta auton ulkoasu kertoo muuta: valkoinen maalipinta on muuttunut alaosastaan hiekanruskeaksi paksun kurakerroksen vuoksi. Slogan ja Suomen kevätkeli ovat vahvassa ristiriidassa keskenään.

For those who might be wondering, it'd be another 320 km before I'd reach Lapland. That, however, is not on the menu for this weekend.

A low-angle night photograph looking up at the Nykarleby water tower in Finland. The concrete, mushroom-shaped tower is illuminated from below against a deep indigo sky. Above the silhouetted branches of bare trees, the stars of the Big Dipper constellation (Ursa Major) are clearly visible and bright. The overall mood is cold, still, and serene.

460 km done, 0 km to go. Time to call it a night after 2.5h at sea, 6h at the office and 6h on the road. I'll leave you with the #Nykarleby water tower and the Big Dipper. Good night! #RoadTrip

A vibrant display case at the Juustoportti cheese counter in Jalasjärvi. The wooden shelves are packed with various wedges of artisan cheese, ranging from creamy whites to sharp oranges and black-rinded varieties. Several clear plastic domes sit atop the wheels, filled with cubed cheese samples for tasting. Decorative dark grapes and green leaves are tucked between the selections

A tall Neste Express petrol station sign stands against a beautiful sunset sky with streaks of pink, orange, and blue. The digital display shows fuel prices: Futura 95 at 2.089, Futura 98 at 2.199, and Futura Diesel at 2.359. The background shows a quiet Finnish landscape with a dark treeline and a few parked cars at dusk.

315 km done, 140 km to go. Quick stop at the classic venue known as #Juustoportti. I sampled (and bought) some cheese, but didn't refuel the car. I have been chasing the sunset for the last hour and a bit. Unfortunately, it's a battle I'm destined to lose. #RoadTrip

A close-up of a Texas-style brisket burger topped with a generous layer of creamy coleslaw, served on a tray. Next to the burger is a bright green glass bottle of lime-flavored Jarritos Mexican soda. Captured at JJ's BBQ inside the Citymarket in Pirkkala, Finland.

180 km done, 280 km to go. Time to fuel up – the driver! I had no idea that the Citymarket in #Pirkkala also has JJ's BBQ, a Texas style barbeque joint with awesome brisket, coleslaw and Jarritos Mexican soda. This should keep me going as far as the car will go. #RoadTrip

Yeah, in Tallinn I have 4 supermarkets well within walking distance, one of which is (still) a Prisma. Just had a report from my mom who said that petrol is *down* to 2.11€ in Nykarleby this morning.

A close-up of a digital display on a Neste petrol pump in Tallinn, Estonia. The screen shows a total cost of 74.61 EUR for 44.97 litres of fuel.

A silver Chevrolet Malibu LTZ being refuelled at a Neste petrol station in Tallinn, Estonia, during the early morning twilight. The green fuel nozzle is inserted into the car's fuel tank on the rear right side. The white and blue pump is branded with "Neste Futura" and "1" and "2" station numbers. In the background, streetlights illuminate a quiet road and a multistory residential building under a dusky blue sky.

Filling up for a road trip to my old home town. Petrol is expensive in Estonia, but apparently I need to be prepared to pay over 2€ per litre for 95E10 in Finland. Still, family comes first. #ThanksTrump

A screenshot from the ADS-B Exchange flight tracking website showing a Royal Air Force Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint (reconnaissance aircraft) with the registration ZZ664 and callsign RRR7215.

The map display shows the aircraft's flight path in purple, tracing a route from Poland, through the Suwałki Gap, and north through Lithuania and Latvia into Estonia. The plane is currently performing a large "racetrack" loitering pattern over eastern Estonia, positioned between Tartu and the Gulf of Finland, near the ruzzian border.

A sidebar on the left provides technical details, including a photo of the aircraft, its current altitude of 33,000 feet, and a groundspeed of 378 knots.

A wide shot at Milano Malpensa Airport of a Lufthansa Airbus A321-231 (D-AISZ) in its retro "Superstar Heritage" livery. The aircraft features a classic blue cheatline, a grey underbelly, and vintage Lufthansa branding.

It is parked at Gate A10 with a jet bridge attached. Ground crews in high-visibility vests are active around the plane; a series of silver "Jettainer" cargo pods are lined up in the foreground, and a service van is parked nearby. In the background, other aircraft from Air Europa, Air China, and American Airlines are visible on the tarmac under an overcast sky.

A Strava activity summary map for a hike titled "Cascata del Vò." The GPS track is displayed as an orange and brown line tracing a path through a green topographic map. The screen shows the following statistics: an elevation gain of 167 m, a total time of 1h 13m, and a distance of 5.16 km.

A screenshot from the Strava app showing the elevation profile of the hike. A grey area graph illustrates a steady ascent to a peak of 1,228 m at roughly the 2.5 km mark, followed by a descent. A text box titled "Athlete Intelligence" reads: "Nice work tackling 167m of elevation! That's significantly more than your typical hike—well above your usual climbs." The total elevation gain is confirmed as 167 m.

A rustic wooden observation hut or hunting blind perched high on tall stilts in a dense evergreen forest. A long, steep flight of wooden stairs leads up to the small, weathered shack, which is built around a slender tree trunk. The structure sits on a steep, wooded hillside overlooking a gravel forest path.

It's a loanword, Swedish got "pojke" from Finnish "poika". On the other hand, many Finnish dialects use "lilla" to colloquially mean "girl" (Swedish: "flicka").

A nighttime landscape overlooking Lake Iseo from Zorzino. In the foreground, a dark stone driveway is flanked by shadowy trees, with a bright yellow street lamp casting a warm glow on a house to the left. The calm, dark lake sits in the middle ground, with the sparkling lights of a distant town reflecting on the water. In the background, massive, jagged mountains rise against a deep blue evening sky.

A lavish Italian breakfast spread on a grey marble table at Malia Milano. Three white cups of frothy cappuccino are surrounded by an assortment of pastries: a savory croissant sandwich filled with prosciutto and greens, a fresh raspberry tart, two powdered buns (one topped with chocolate chips), a glossy dark brioche, and a large sugar-dusted pastry overflowing with bright yellow custard. Partial views of two people sitting at the table add a cozy, communal feel to the morning scene.

Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region.  In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater’s formation.
