Hello!
Now we want to show You some views of our hometown Jyväskylä.
We went to visit näkötorni (a viewingtower) to the place called Harju. Harju is like a hill just next to city center. From the viewingtower we could see the hole city!
There's the city center and a harbour of Jyväskylä.
The lake behind those buildings is called as Jyväsjärvi.
There's a sport stadium of Harju.
There wasn't anyone practising there at the moment we were in the viewingtower...
This picture shows Jyväskylä city from the other direction.
If you look very carefully to the horizon, you might can see the place called Laajavuori. It's a place for downhill skiing and ski jumping.
There's our home.
Can you see the little bit of white in the middle of many trees?
Yes, there it is, just next to the lake.
There's Natural History Museum in the same building as the viewingtower,
so we went there to see some Finnish animals.
The Natural History Museum's
website tells that...
..."The Natural History Section serves as a preservation unit for natural scientific research, and displays environmental subjects and research material. It takes care of the living plants of the botanical garden on the campus. It also receives wild animals found dead and prepares scientific samples of them. The section has a collection of over 250 000 samples, the most numerous being invertebrates, plants and moss."
There's hirvi (a moose). It's the biggest animal living in Finland.
And there's karhu (a bear). This one is a baby bear.
There's two swans. Joutsen (a swan) is the national animal of Finland.
Hih, and there's vesilähde (a fountain) just next to Harju.
by for now,
Stella and Luna
See you soon!
