Finland celebrates its 100 years of independence on the 6th of December 2017. Many countries, cities, private and public organizations around the world honor it by illuminating monuments and sights.
Most impressive seemed to be Colosseum, which was illuminated already on the 5th of December.

From Finland one of the best light arts and world’s biggest one by Kari Kola comes from Lappland.

We celebrated last night with a group of Finns. Songs were sung, Finnish food was eaten and a good time was held by all.
Big and special day for Finns and people who have roots in Finland!
