UNINTERRUPTED CYCLING NETWORK.
In most cities, cycling involves a constant cycle of stop-and-go. You hit a red light, you wait for a turning truck, you yield to pedestrians. It kills the momentum.
Here in Oulu, the experience is completely different. Here’s why👇 1/3

Tonight Stekkjastaur, the first of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He likes to sneak into the sheep shed to drink milk from the ewes.
All the children put a shoe in the window for him to put a treat or a little gift in – if they have been good! The bad children get a potato.

It’s the time of year when I do my Christmas auction. This mouse icon is up for auction and it’s to raise money for Shelter Cymru & Doctors without borders. 100% of the money raised will go to these charities on a 50-50 basis.

In case anyone's wondering, this is what a pink sea fan looks like when it's not entangled in marine debris (see earlier post). This specimen's probably nearly 30 years old. #Eunicellaverrucosa
