[Photos taken on 19 April 2018, posted on 03 November 2018.  Second swimming pool visit this week today, yay!<\/em>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a photography lull (what a long long winter!), I decided to bring my gear to Hildur’s confirmation party.  Anna and Halli had managed to reserve a really nice gathering hall through Halli’s worker’s association, which made everything easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took about a gazillion photos that day, and some 300 were deemed ‘ok’. Here are some of them! (55 images total)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
