Summer 2010 began with a bright and warm spring.
The Mothersday lunch, June 2010

The summer 2010 was the hottest summer ever in Finland.

The highest temperature was +35 C (+95 F) in July.

It was easy to row the small boat on a big lake.

The lakewater was calm and warm.

One day our destination was the ancient rock paintings at Astuansalmi.

James, Liisa, Leevi and Leena watching the primitive figures of elks, boats and human beings.

The other day we had a break in the Otrasaari -island. Lotta and Leevi are waiting the sausage to be roasted.

You can see many kind of things while rowing and having breaks.

The boat in a forest was the most unexpected.

The big birds (kuikka) cheer up the boat trip.

Very, very good summer, the "tropical" summer 2010 in Finland.
