The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood in St. Petersburg is a church of many names. Some call it Church of Our Savior on Blood, Church on the Blood, Temple of the Savior on Spilled Blood and the Church of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Either way, this is a special church since it was built where Tzar Alexander II was fatally wounded in March 1881.

On our my first time in Finland, I went to Porvoo ready to do anything. If the plan was take bikes into the wild, I had the equipment to do it. If the plan was to swim, I had everything ready to take pictures from the water. All this was possible because I brought my Sony Action camera with me. Too bad nobody knew this trip would be a painful journey for the camera.

The Åland Islands are a group of islands between Sweden and Finland. Officially speaking the islands are Finnish, but they speak Swedish and they had their autonomy awarded to them by the League of Nations in 1921. This was the only way to settle the long-running dispute between Sweden and Finland about who owns Åland. In fact, nobody owns Åland and they are an autonomous area surrounded by the Baltic Sea and they take care of most things themselves.

When you are walking around Tempelhof, a concrete cylinder isn’t the first thing that crosses your mind as a place to visit. But the Schwerbelastungskörper is more than just a bunch of concrete and a really scary german name. The Schwerbelastungskörper is one of the few structures that survived to tell the story of Welthauptstadt Germania, the capital of the new german world that never survived the Second World War.
