Street Sweeper

Instead of the piles of salt that Canadian snowplows use to make the road a safer place, Finland uses gravel. So by the time spring comes around, the roads and the sidewalks are PLASTERED in gravel. Makes bike riding, jogging, or pushing a stroller a bit more difficult. Luckily I don't own any rollerblades, as I'm sure that would be an awful sight. So it was a pleasant surprise to step outside today with my dog and my stroller and see the sidewalks all swept up. Ahhh...... Spring is coming!!!
