I arranged myself with a new contemporary memorial site for Nadine: it’s at Voisalmensaari quite close to my father’s flat at Kivisalmi so that I can drive there by bike within a few minutes. It faces south-west and it’s sunny there for the whole day. Due to the late sunset at about 11 p.m. I was able to shoot the picture above last night.

It is the spot where Nadine and me stood at the shore of Lake Saimaa together for the first time back in 2009. Even though I don’t remember if she went in or not, I’m able to conceive her splashing in the water and wearing that bright and unique smile of hers all over the face. No idea wether this is a true memory or just my flight of imagination…

However that might be, the place allows me to think of her fondly, cry some silent  tears, listen to my playlist, sing a few lines out loud and tell her some pleasantries  and how much I miss her.
