"Every town... [@dailyshoot #ds151]

...village, or city has distinguishing icons and landmarks. Make a photo of one wherever you are today."

 

I tried different angles - and this is the one I liked. Before I started to take daily photos - the Glass Blower Statue was always a season check for me. There are always flowers blooming. I wanted to get the snowdrops included today. I was surprised not to find anything but the name of the sculptor (K. Kallio, 1960) from the internet. The text engraved in the pedestal says: "Riihimäki Glass Factory and it's Employees to the Town of Riihimäki". Details of the story of Riihimäki Glass Factory (1910-1990) can be found in Finnish: fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riihim%c3%a4en_lasi

 

Riihimäen lasi in google pics search gives an impression of the special glass products.
