Saturday, August 23

Irma’s niece (and Kaj and Teriki’s daughter) Olivia had her graduation party in Töölö at Soutustadion this evening. We went.

Soutustadion has no inside. Instead it has a series of outdoor terraces, two outdoor bars, and an outdoor kitchen. Unbeknown to us, the weather had turned very cold so we spent our second Saturday in a row shivering in a crowd of people dressed more suitably than us.

Soutustadion has a sauna at the end of a long jetty. Some people were coming out of the sauna and jumping into the sea. I photographed the sea and sky while feeling mildly pleased that at least I had remained on land.
