Summer in Finland has been extraordinarily warm this year, so a lot of people have been spending time outside, and this is a popular hangout place. However, many of the items have been there for a long time (some of the glass bottles estimated to be from the 60's).

Pedestrian crossing roadsign, and an entire rooftop of a boat.


It would be easiest if one could create a report directly from the event, not completely separately.
