self portrait challenge/bathroom II

Second week in SPCs bathroom.

At our summercottage there are no bathroom. Instead we have sauna and river, where is possible to refresh straight from hot steam called "löyly". Sauna is much more than washing. It's also ritual, which includes heating slowly with wood, watching fire and getting water from river or pit.

I think best saunas are usually old and quite dark. Walls have darken because of time and smoke. Atmosphere is intimate, pure and natural. Like in our sauna at country.

It's a shame that summer is gone and last weekend might have been the last in cottage. It means I have to settle for our electric sauna in city, once in a week.
