Oulo, Finland


Postmarked Oulu, dated 20 December 2008.

Oulu
Toripollisi

This statue reminds me somehow of the one in the previous card.  It is in the market square area of Oulu with its old salt warehouses, the oldest dating back to the 18 century. The Toripolliisi or Market square policeman statue is in bronze by Kaarlo Mikkonen, 1986.

    Hello Jodi, I'm fine. Sorry I haven't been round. I've been rather busy.

    Looks like a cross between the Tik Tok Man of Oz, and a Soviet commissar.
