#fallcolours
A bit early this year for #fallcolours in #August, but here we are, probably due to the huge amount of rain this summer here in #Ottawa.
Two weeks ago in Svartå (Mustio)
Svartå Manor is one of the most precious manor houses in Finland with a history of more than two hundred years. Nowadays the manor house is a museum, and the interior is restored to its original state with its different tiled stoves, Gustavian furniture and of course the original parquet floors.
The wooden castle is embedded in one of the biggest private historical parks of Finland. Originally it was designed as a baroque park in 1787 but in the late 19th century Friedolf Linder renewed the park into an English style of park. He planted many exotic trees from all over the world, which are unusual species for Finland.

A week ago in Fiskars
Fiskars (Fiskari) is a village in the town of Raseborg (Raasepori) in western Uusimaa, Finland . The village is the site of the former Fiskars Bruk, which was founded in 1646 and gave rise to the company Fiskars.
Nowadays, the factory is a lively centre of Finnish art and design. There are about 600 people living in the factory area and it is very popular among artists, artisans and designers. Especially in summer, the Fiskars Bruk is a popular tourist destination. Also in winter, various exhibitions and conference, accommodation and restaurant services, as well as workshops and shops provide things to see and experience.
