I love the perspective correction tool of Darktable. You can make your smartphone photos including some in this set much better looking by removing perspective errors that can be quite horrid when shooting with a wide angle lens such as on a typical smart phone.

The light rail system is brand new. It has been under construction for the last five years and is finally completed.

The arena at the end of the street is a newly built congress center and an ice hockey arena. It's named after its main sponsor Nokia.

Those tower blocks on the left are on a deck built above the railway close to the railway station.

Orthodox Christianity is a very small minority religion. But it is old and Tampere is large enough to have a significant Orthodox minority.

I could not walk around the arena because a match was about to begin and I wasn't about to buy a ticket.

The ice hockey world championship tournament will be played here and in Helsinki unless we are turned into radioactive ash before May this year. It is likely that Russia won't be playing either way.

This is the main library of the city, also the regional main library. It is the shape of wood grouse when looked at from above. In fact, its name, Metso, means exactly that.

That hut near the lighthouse has a small cafeteria in it. I did not have time to walk there as it was about 1 km away.
