Downtown Sodankylä: Pictures and Video Clips

Yesterday I went downtown to look for a second Christmas gift for hubby since he's prepared two for me. After browsing around in several stores, I finally found something on a 50% discount HUA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...Guys, don't wonder why sometimes it takes a LONG time for girls to shop. They need to compare and contrast, esp. when they a tight shopping budget HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...So don't fret, OK? LOL LOL!!!

Anyway, I managed to snap away some pictures on the way to the stores and I also made a few video clips for you to enjoy. The sky was ABLAZE yesterday. It was a sight to behold...mmmm...




In the below pic you can see the snow tractor that comes every morning to get rid of the snow from the main streets and the car parking lots around or near apartment buildings.





ARRRGGHHH!!! Blogger has refused to let me upload some more pictures, so I'm gonna cut this short and publish it first then. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Below is an unclear video of our car ride last Saturday. I know it's not too clear, but I just wanna show you how it feels like being here when it's dark already with all the Christmas lights he he he...



This second video is a short one of a moving Santa ornament in one of the stores I saw yesterday he he he...I also happen to LOVE the snowman doll in this video clip.

Weekend Pics

Don't expect to see too many lovely shots here, but I just want to share them with you. I didn't have time to take many pics but when I have time to go to the forest again, I'll surely take many more pics.


We just arrived at the forest. It took us about 5 minutes on foot to reach the opening where we got to pick blueberries by following the path. Arttu drove a tractor first, then halfway down the road to the forest, his Dad drove the tractor while Arttu grabbed the electric saw. My mother-in-law drove the car there. It was funny to see Arttu driving a tractor. I'd NEVER seen a tractor close-up right in front of me before I moved here he he he...LOL!!!



There you go. The pic isn't THAT clear but at least you can see how difficult it was for me to separate which from which. Lots of berries and lots of leaves he he he...




The above pic is my bucket. I didn't realize it back then, but now I can see that there're definitely different kinds of berries there ha ha ha...




This one is my mother-in-law's bucket. Filled with blueberries ONLY. Perfect catch!!!





Here's a close-up look of crowberry (left) and blueberry (right) after Arttu told me the difference between them.
