Something old
Something new
Something borrowed
Something blue
Little bits of Finland and anything Finnish around the world, in the past or in the present. If something borrowed is yours and you do not like it in this format, or think it's not properly credited let me know and I will change or delete it.
You probably won't like or be interested in everything I put on this page, but hopefully you'll find a few things or learn something new about Finland.

Alvar Aalto’s boat
Nemo Propheta in Patria
Alvar Aalto designed the motor boat Nemo propheta in patria for use on Lake Päijänne. The boat was the only way of reaching the island of Muuratsalo in the 1950s.
Aalto gave the boat the name NEMO PROPHETA IN PATRIA - No-one is a prophet in their own land.
The boat as a form fascinated Alvar Aalto. Comparatively speaking, he made more drawings for the boat than for his other structures.
