The red wooden thing is a toilet (imagine the smell) at my in-laws' summer cottage (in Finland). The funny thing is that people enjoy primitive life in the Nordic countries at weekends and holidays where most people have a very high standard of living, and live in perfectly built houses with triple glazing windows and superior quality over all.

Here we have no electricity and no running water. We bring the drinking water with us, and wash the dishes in rain water. We have a gas fridge and stove. And wash ourselves with rain water in the sauna (or in the sea) that has a wood-burning heater. Enjoying the last days of "summer" (around 18°C).

@tanjaostman looks and sounds wonderful. I'm not complaining but now when I look out my window I see cornfields drying up ready for harvest in a few months.

@Kruselady thank you! Sounds like a beautiful view. Hope you want to share a picture some day.

@tanjaostman I shared a picture for Brother O.
when they were growing, soon I'll share one when it's all brown. My sister lives in Bergen,Norway and it is beautiful there.
