Pyha

Nothing political or controversial to add here. Just a quick pic from my recent hike at Pyhä.

Finally...graffiti

Someone has at long last made some graffiti in rovaniemi!

Ahh...but now it seems that it's not graffiti after all, but just adverts for local bands. Well it's a start. I'd still like to see some creative graffiti here. It seems there are two sides to street art here in Rovaniemi: on the one hand we have officially sanctioned bland paintings in the underpasses, mostly of the northern lights or reindeer. On the other hand we get some lame attempts at tags and mediocre spray-painted messages such as 'Fuck Tte' (?) and anti/pro Nazi nonsense.

I would really like to see the University or Polytechnic take some proactive action on this. There are many places that some good graffiti would brighten, and I know at least one person in London who could run a very interesting course in graffiti art.
