Day 5: Petäjävesi Old Church

Last year, we visited the wooden church at Petäjävesi and as Anna's folks didn't visit, and wanted to, we decided to return there today. From here, it's about 40 minutes away and it was easy to get to as the road was quiet - aren't almost all roads here in Finland?

I did manage to capture this butterfly in the damp conditions.

With the weather misbehaving again for the second day, it was the only real thing we did, although we had our obligatory sauna and swimming session in the lake this evening, in pouring rain! Looking ahead at the weather for the next seven days, I think it's going to be challenging to keep up producing decent photos each day, but I'll do my best! We have certainly been very lucky over the past few years with amazing sunny and hot weather that has often been settled for the entire period of our stays and beyond, but this next week isn't looking much good at all. Still, if the sun shines, I will definitely make sure I get as many decent photos as possible.

Tomorrow's forecast shows sunny periods and thunderstorms, so let's see what happens...
