Photo Collage - Tornio in 2016

Tornio is a small town in South Lapland in Finland. Here is cold long winter and beautiful summer, when sun is few weeks above the horizon 24/7. I made a photo collage of my 2016 Tornio photos to my Youtube channel.

The photo collage starts from January in winter and continues via summer and ends up to new winter in December. Enjoy!

Hope you like it.
