    I had no idea that a lake could even look like Saimaa.

      I wonder if Finnish children have to map it by hand in school…

        Luckily no.

        It’s like an ancient eldritch horror. We are not to look at it, lest we lose our minds, but just show respect in it’s presence.

          Finland and it lakes are clearly to be feared and respected. Stay safe, friend.

            Did you know we track how many drown every midsummer celebration? All as a reminder of the ancient powers

    I visited Vänern once. It’s like standing at the beach, the lake stretches past the horizon.

      As someone living in the great lakes in North America, this is the thing that I find most difficult to explain to people not from here, the concept that a lake can be similar to a sea.
