Another great Nordic city

I've visited many wonderful cities in northern Europe during this holiday and Jyvaskyla in central Finland is no exception.  

The forest abounds everywhere and in places where New Zealand cities and towns would have parks, Jyvaskyla has lakes - many many lakes, so no one has to go far to swim or boat, or simply relax and reflect.  

I passed this spot earlier today within minutes of leaving my hosts' home to walk along a forest track.
