You choose unesco WHS tag - Finland

I bought some UNESCO cards so I decided to tag again in the different unesco tags. I tagged Bessie from Finland . She send me this nice card which shows the Petäjävesi Old Church.



Petäjävesi Old Church, in central Finland, was built of logs between 1763 and 1765. This Lutheran country church is a typical example of an architectural tradition that is unique to eastern Scandinavia. It combines the Renaissance conception of a centrally planned church with older forms deriving from Gothic groin vaults.

When I found this card from Finland in my mailbox, I was directly thinking about my childhood. During my childhood this group, The Spice Girls, was very famous and I got their cd's, a lot of posters and other things like photo's and candy you could collect from this girlgroup. It is almost 10 years ago that they were splitt up. It is great to receive suchs cards. It has travelled a distance of 1,524 km in 9 days.

You choose UNESCO whs site tag - Finland

With Christmas, I had some days off so I spend some time on the postcrossing forum to tag in the unescotags. This is one of the cards I received last week. It was send by Msmoney from Finland . The card shows us the high coast in Finland.



The Kvarken Archipelago (Finland) and the High Coast (Sweden) are situated in the Gulf of Bothnia, a northern extension of the Baltic Sea. The 5,600 islands of the Kvarken Archipelago feature unusual ridged washboard moraines, ‘De Geer moraines’, formed by the melting of the continental ice sheet, 10,000 to 24,000 years ago. The Archipelago is continuously rising from the sea in a process of rapid glacio-isostatic uplift, whereby the land, previously weighed down under the weight of a glacier, lifts at rates that are among the highest in the world. As a consequence islands appear and unite, peninsulas expand, and lakes evolve from bays and develop into marshes and peat fens. The High Coast has also been largely shaped by the combined processes of glaciation, glacial retreat and the emergence of new land from the sea. Since the last retreat of the ice from the High Coast 9,600 years ago, the uplift has been in the order of 285 m which is the highest known ''rebound''. The site affords outstanding opportunities for the understanding of the important processes that formed the glaciated and land uplift areas of the Earth''s surface.
