Balloon over the Castle

Having been stuck herein Iittala all week I needed to be somewhere else today so I hopped on the train and away with me to Hameenlinna. Minus 16C. Mighty cold. Surprise number one, there were balloons launching from behind the castle (the linna). Surprise number two, the ice on the lake was strong enough to walk across. First time I have ever walked on water for any distance. Well, frozen water. Shortly I will post a few more shots on Facebook.
