It’s Independence Day in Finland today, so here’s a painting by Finnish 19th Century artist Magnus von Wright. This was a very pleasant assembly, and as with many older Tactic puzzles, the quality was excellent. The Christmas tree in the image looks like it’s on its way out, which would make this January 1860.

Very somberly compared to most countries. It’s a time to be thankful for the freedom that we have, and to remember those who gave their lives for it. It feels especially poignant this year, with Russia again waging war in Europe. There is a big reception at the presidential palace, and a lot of people watch it on TV. In the evening we burn candles on our windowsills.
