Olavi Lanu Park, Lahti, Finland - 8th October 2010

By: sirkku-susanna

Hi there!

Yesterday my host told me, that we are going to see some art. O.K, I’m not much into art, but I thought maybe we will get some appetizers to eat and even something bubbling to drink.  B) So we went town, after a while we arrived to this small lake. You can see big hill behind it and Susanna told me, there’s where we will go. Strange place for art gallery??? Up and up we went.

Then Susanna took me out of her bag. And I couldn’t believe my eyes: Another forest. These Finnish people sure are crazy, they put even their art work in forest.  :o My host explained to me that we were at theme park of artist Olavi Lanu and his sculptures are very big. So they were. Sculptures also have strange names; First picture “Hellä kivi” (Tender Stone), then “Kaksi kiveä” (Two Stones), then “Keko” (Stack), then “Kanto” (Stump of Tree) and in last picture “Iso kivi” (Big Stone). This last sculpture is the biggest, 37 tons heavy.

On our way back, we saw this fountain. My host told me, that it’s not only a fountain. It’s really water organs. Winter time they play shows with music and lights. So these people put their art in forest and music instrument in lake……

At weekend we are going to see something different. Until then!
