So, if you read my blog yesterday, I was supposed to be biking around Rovaniemi taking photos today. The truth be told I'm too lazy. I wanted to go out to the airport, because I have been there before (but forgot my camera at the time) and saw these astonishing reindeer sculptures. Google maps told me it was 12.5 k there and after a quick camera snap I would have to bike back, plus I wanted to get other pictures today. A quick google search gave me these amazing results and saved me a bike ride! Now I'm off to see if I can get pictures in the other part of town I wanted to (really I am!).
"Upi Kärri has made numerous public sculptures mainly in Lapland. Perhaps the most notable work is Santa Land’s Reindeers (Joulumaan porot) in the Rovaniemi airport. Eight reindeers in steel and Bohemian crystal are jumping in a curve from the airport’s cliff into the air. Santa Land’s Reindeers have grown to become the emblem of Rovaniemi and it is also used in jewels and pins."
