Sauna on the shore of Lake Tarjanne

The Finnish sauna is a substantial part of Finnish culture.
There are five million inhabitants and over two million saunas in Finland
- an average of one per household.
For Finnish people the sauna is a place to relax with friends and family,
and a place for physical and mental relaxation as well.
Finns think of saunas not as a luxury, but as a necessity.

Very beautiful scene, especially the rich colors. Interesting about the sauna too. I love a sauna, but don't often get to enjoy one here. Our weather is so hot, it is like a sauna outside! :)
