My Midsummer at the Keskisuomalainen newspaper: Water from above and below
I started work at Keskisuomalainen, a daily newspaper serving central Finland, just before the Midsummer weekend. The plan was to visit a couple of festivals (the main event of the Pentecostal churches if Finland and a pop music festival) and spend a decent amount of time in a smoke sauna. But a large water pipeline burst in Jyväskylä, so I only got to spend few minutes in the sauna. Anyway, here are some of the photos I took during my first days at work.
