Northern Lights

With clear skies, and a recent flurry of solar activity, Thursday night promised for some northern lights!

22.50: Meet roughly 30 other exchange students in front of Yliopistokatu 16

23.00: Walk to Pyykösjärvi

23.30: (See below)

I was the only one with a bike out on the lake.. it made for a great mount for my tripod!

The factory lights were pretty..

The full moon cast some nice shadows, as well.

But, no aurora borealis.

Now the exchange students don't think they exist.

I was sent a box of MTU paraphenalia-

to distribute and represent at the Study Abroad Fair

Met up with the Mehtälä's!

Hanging out at none other than Hessburger

The post-post party:

playing Bohnanza!

Runebergin päivä

Found a few piano practice rooms on campus!

The aftermath:

(-23 C + no balaclava) x 2 hours = frozen cheekbones

(It was above -25 so I thought it would be unnecessary)
