Ah, thanks, yes, that answers that question. I think I even recognize the material in my photo above.
Great, I love this.
To clarify, in Finland you can see many fully (excluding the basement) wooden houses, but rarely more than 1 storey (+attic) high.
For multiple stories, I've seen very open concrete structures that are filled with wood, and that's not bad either, and probably much cheaper. But all wood, even the floors - must feel different to live in one.

^ that is impressive.

My Xperia XA2 does not make good pictures in poor light conditions.
I wish I could tell it how long to keep the shutter open, but apparently that is not an option.
Anyhow, this one came out OK after some post-processing in GIMP.

It's quite impressive actually, they light it up at night.

Just to have some entry.

Taken with Honor 9 lite which I hate but am stuck with at the moment.

Default cam. Cropped about 1/4 to get the beam which I just noticed to go from corner to corner. Darkened just a bit to make the beam more clear.

Location: Kaivopuisto Harbour area, Finland.

I like the scene but not thinking it to be a good image for competition. Maybe I will take a better one.

Just a quick reminder: you have 7 more days to post your awesome pictures before voting starts!
