-15°C

Finally we have real winter weather, really cold weather. It is so nice after a year again feel freezing wind on your face, all problems when you are trying to take photos while wearing so much clothes that you just cannot handle camera properly... But it is always so worth of it, the photos are always just so amazing...

Follow the white ... line

Last night I got a great idea of going to cycle in the middle of night. When it was dark, windy and it felt like there was almost little bit of rain in the air - in other words just quite nice autumn-like weather. This was my first time cycling in the dark in this autumn and have to say that it was just so great. It has just so different feeling when you are alone in the streets, just trying to follow your headlamp light... And because I was cycling in the middle of night, I was practically all alone there, there was just a few cars in the roads. It was so quiet and nice.

In the middle of my trip I just encountered weird white line in the street that just went somewhere. It was weird because it was painted first in the pavement, then on the street, then it went across the school yard... So what I did - of course I started to follow it... It took a while until I understood that it was the Varala marathon route marking, which was better than good for me because I was actually heading to near to Varala to see nightly view of city. So just following weird white line and I ended up exactly where I wanted :) But the view wasn't so great than I was thought, it was nice but not so nice. So still searching for a great nightly view from the city... Tips are accepted...

Old railway

I like Tampere that in the area that currently holds small industrial and stores you can find old rails. It is always a great time to cycle there and think when was the last time there actually went a train. A quite a while I think because tracks was all rusty and in those place where rails crosses a street, no cars slowed down at all. And today I noticed sad thing, they were removing tracks from streets so no trains at all anymore. It looked like they are still going to keep rails elsewhere, but it is still only a matter of time until they are removed also, i think.

Old junction is growing trees nowadays, I think that train would have some problems to get through...

Old signal in the junction. These can't be seen in the modern rails anymore which is a shame.

Old rail goes over a bridge and is still connected (probably) to the current rails.

And thats what tracks look at the moment next to street.
