At Siilinkari rock

I met Toivo at Siilinkari rock today and had a interesting talk with him. He was born in Russia near St Petersburg and has family roots in Ingrian Finns. He told me, that many his relatives had lost their lives in Josph Stalin´s persecutions. Nowadays he lives alone in Tampere and has lived here over 20 years.

He asked me to take a picture of him with bike and of the lighthouse.
It was a very nice encountering.
