Future

The 11th of July me, and our wonderful photographer Mikki (accompanied by Ema and Lobin) headed out to Sveaborg for a photoshoot. This time in our uniforms from the Finnish war.
I, Finland, am wearing the uniform used by Nylands Regemente (present at Sveaborg) from 1797. Newer uniform regulation had been issued by the king before 1808-09, but they had not spread to the eastern half of the Swedish Kingdom yet, so the 1797 ones were used throughout the war. :userBetsiel:, Russia, is wearing a Russian uniform from the same era. Both uniforms are handmade by ourselves.
Sveaborg fortress was the Swedish stronghold in the south of Finland, usually called "Finland's lock", though it never got to prove what it could do, as it surrendered under still considered very mysterious conditions quite early in the war.
An interesting fact though, is that the cannon I'm standing on (as well as all other cannons on Sveaborg) is pointing towards Sweden. A little souvenier from the Russian time.
