#barkbread

Enjoyable & efficient day's filming with @ronanen #fullfocusmedia around Central Finland and (a bit of) Ostrobothnia. Pics are in reverse order -- #kivijärvi memorial made of the old famine-era bridge at #hannonsalmi -- #perho contemporary memorial stone and the relief-work road out to #salamajärvi -- #karstula belltower where, according to the news report, a piece of #barkbread from 1868 was discovered -- and #saarijärvi and its statue of #saarijärvenpaavo #bondenpaavo ... not a famine memorial as such but a good starting point for discussing some of the differences in #famine remembrance and #nationalidentity in Finland and Ireland. #nälkävuosi #nälkävuodet #nälkävuosienmuistomerkki (at Central Finland)
