Life in Oulu!

Some of my exchange friends have taken some amazing photos here in Oulu and I wanted to share some of them with everyone...
Just before our walk to the frozen beach the other day, we spotted our "furry friends" that live in the trees in front of our building. Paul was able to get a really good close-up photo of one of these furry "critters" during his evening snack...although, was looking a bit annoyed that "paparazzi Paul" was interrupting his/her dinner...

Wolfi (my Austrian mate) who lives on the top floor, has amazing view of Linnanmaa campus and the lake..here is a panorama of my campus and surroundings...home sweet home!

We often witness some amazing sunsets...here Patrick and Wolfi took some beautiful photos of sunsets at the beach in Oulu...

Sunset!

The days in Oulu are getting much longer (almost 14hrs) and warmer now, often we are lucky to see some beautiful sunsets. Yesterday Paul and I walked to a lake nearby to watch the sunset.
