Walk in the woods

Today it was nice weather, the temperature after hovering around minus 20 was sub minus 5, there was bright sunlight after two days of snow storm which had wreaked havoc on the vehicular traffic in south Finland

Afer lunch I thought of foregoing my nap to go for walk along the 'Hame - Castle',going across the circumference of the frozen lake in the wood.By the time I got dressed up and ready to go, the weather changed suddenly,a gusty wind laced with snow started and then clould appeared. However this didn't deter me and I continued with my plan.

First I crossed the castle(it looks similar to the castle in the Mario game :-p or rather Mario game castle looks similar to this castle ).This castle was built in the 13th century and used as prison until 1953.

This is the tourist information board.

The castle has a moat surrounding it.See the wooden bridge it's piers still as strong as they were in 13th century.


 

This is how castle looks from about 500 mts.



 

Just behind the castle there is one tank museum displaying World War II vehicles. Here is a photo of it.


 

As I continued with my walk I saw one train passing the lake, immediately I took a snap.

 

All this time the Sun was playing hide and seek in the woods.Here is a snap of the 'peekaboo' of the Sun.


 

While continuing further I saw this cabin like structure but I don't know what is this and what it is used for ?


? 

I returned to my aparment after the 2 hour long walk, evening was descending and I needed one hot cup of tea.
