Finland is a country of thousands of lakes and islands; 187888 lakes (larger than 500 m²) and 179584 islands to be precise.[15] One of these lakes, Saimaa, is the fifth largest in Europe. The Finnish landscape is mostly flat with few hills and its highest point, the Halti at 1324 metres, is found in the extreme north of Lapland at the border between Finland and Norway. The landscape is covered mostly (seventy-five percent of land area) by coniferous taiga forests and fens, with little arable land. The most common type of rock is granite. It is a ubiquitous part of the scenery, visible wherever there is no soil cover. Moraine or till is the most common type of soil, covered by a thin layer of humus of biological origin. The greater part of the islands are found in southwest in the Archipelago Sea, part of the archipelago of the Åland Islands, and along the southern coast in the Gulf of Finland.

This winter I painted several cityscape in response to my on going-reoccurring dreams of San Francisco. Although I have not lived there for many years it is as though part of me still drifts along those familiar streets at night. Likewise, every time I sat down to paint recently, I would see all those squares and boxes of brick and concrete and glass and steel. All those mysterious building seen only from the sidewalk,...down lanes and alleys on trains and buses i wander that dream scape city still...I am calling myself from the places I used to roam. I am calling myself Home. Теги:oyateundergrounddenisegiagopaintingcityscapewanbliwiwohpeartmusicsiyotankalakotaoglalawomanartist
