Holy shit Markku! That is cold. We had that kind of temperature for a week in February but not in March. And there's no snow here anymore, we actually had very little snow, like every year lately. It's raining now actually.
You took some nice photos and I suppose security was not after you 😁
I did not follow the news lately but I'm glad to hear Finland is joining NATO. It's better to be safe as this moron has no intention to stop.
The mall was quite empty at around half past eight pm. No security. Did security bother you when you took your mall shots?
Finland's NATO membership will help secure the entire Baltic region. Authoritarian leaders can be unpredictable. Until last spring, the official policy was "NATO option". The the defense forces had been made NATO compatible much earlier. When Russia demanded that NATO stop accepting new members before Feb 24 2022, our leadership and the people turned pro-NATO membership right away. Sweden needs to be allowed to join for the defense planning for the entire region to be possible.
