Here are a few shots from a recent trip to North. Some steel sculpture included for Asher.

Jarmo,

Of course I would like the sculpture but there's nothing to compete with a child!

Yes, you're absolutely right. No steel structure or any other artifact can compete with a true masterpiece of nature. Thank you.

Jarmo,

I would love to know more about this place. What is it's purpose? ........I looked it up!

......and the sculpture. It appears to have clevises and tensioning cables. That is fascinating: necessary or just very expensive decoration?

Any more details or pictures of the sculpture?

Thank you Asher and James! Surely this particular model makes my photography worth all the time spent!

I tried to look for additional info on the sculpture but didn't find any. It is placed in a very central place in the main hall of Arktikum so it must have an important meaning. I'll try to find more.

Having a model with energy and such a lovely sweet connecting pose makes everything gratifying! This natural charm can't be easilly faked! Such kids are genuine souls and precious and your investment will pay off many times over!

Thanks jarmo. It's much appreciated as I use similar elements and I always learn from other folk!

Well, I reached out and wrote to him. See if he will share some more pictures and an introduction!

He also seems to love perforated curved surfaces.

I like being educated!

Thank you Peter! Arktikum is a science center and a museum in Rovaniemi, Finland. It was actually packed when we went there, like it is most times. So I had to be patient to get these pictures. Here's their webpage: www.arktikum.fi.
