From the winter wonderland of Finland comes this snow lantern:

Paavaliina loves snow and, as is the tradition in her native Kemijarvi, in the northernmost part of Finland (and the whole country), they make snow lanterns. Winter-nights in Finland are filled with fairy-like lights from the snow lanterns.
I haven’t been to Finland {yet} but I already have this mental picture of this beautiful country, especially during winter. Everything is covered in snow and there is not much sunshine because the sun does not go up for many, many hours during this time of the year. I can imagine that night times are very dark with flickering lights provided by translucent piles of snowballs, such as above. Imagine thousands of tiny, flickering lights on a cold, snowy, dark winter night? It must be a magical sight!
wow! ang galing naman nito,pramis!!!Bakit kaya hindi ito uso sa US & Canada?
Honga, no? Bakit kaya? Baka sa mga rural areas ng Canada at US meron?

Arlene, you are right. They do look like cotton balls all lumped together. I'm glad it arrived. I'm going to make it up to you in the coming days :)<br /><br />Gen,it is very interesting. Most Finnish use candles to light it while others put electric lights (bulb) 🙂
