Views over city
Great former redbrick factories border the mainly restrained rapids connecting the two lakes surrounding Tampere. The bridge is the central part of the main street Hämeenkatu leading from the railway station to Pyynikki. This summer it is also a big construction site as the new tramline is still under way.

Now is not the time
There is major construction of a new tram underway in Tampere, and the bridge is partially closed. And, the iconic "anatomically correct" statues of naked men have all been stored away for safe-keeping, until the new bridge re-opens in 3 years. When we arrived in Tampere last may, the two local hockey teams, Tappara and Ilves, were facing each other in Finland's hockey playoffs, and the statues were dressed from the waist up in alternating team jerseys, but, "the goods" were still on display. Hey, this is Finland, we are adults when it comes to nudity.
