I had Sayaka and Avis with me and my camera + various lenses but on the way our schedule was really tight and the way back was a race against the setting sun. But I don&#8217;t know when I&#8217;ll get to visit the area again because we no longer have relatives up there&#8230; Maybe if we go see our patch of land all the way in Kuivaniemi? I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I got to take Sayaka out on two different occasions: once on the way and once on the way back during the sunset. I had a third chance too, but it was cold and I felt lazy -besides it was already dark. Avis stayed in the bag the whole time, poor thing.<\/p>\n<p>First spot: The Center of Finland.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"position: absolute;\" src=\"http:\/\/dimensiondolls.com\/shoots\/yourewelcome.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"462px\" height=\"692px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dimensiondolls.com\/dd\/saya_tourist1.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"1\" \/><br \/>\nI succumbed to tourism and Saya is showing the plaque, awesome.

It was taken about 15 minutes before Noon and the light looked like something you&#8217;d see before a sunset. <\/p>\n<p>Next spot was on the way back during the sunset:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"position: absolute;\" src=\"http:\/\/dimensiondolls.com\/shoots\/yourewelcome.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"462px\" height=\"692px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dimensiondolls.com\/dd\/saya_tourist4.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We were at the artificial lake at Uljua and the sunset was pretty much behind us, but it reflected somewhat to the sky and the lake surface.
