As summer is drifting away and autumn is on the doorstep, and Vaasa Pages now approaches 25,000 hits, it is time to consider new content and a smart new look. Coming shortly on Vaasa Pages will be local news highlights, sports pages and a flea market. Contact me at: malcolm.pemberton@vaasapages.com  Suvilahti Shopping Centre Gets an Upgrade 18th July 2010 - Suvilahti's shopping centre upgrade is almost complete. The previously wind-swept covered area is now enclosed with glass, has a fine new floor and looks altogether much more welcoming. The outside of the structure has also had a major facelift (although I'm not sure that I like all that sheet metal). Click on the picture to see more photos.  Final Section of Laihia-Vaasa Bike Route Now Complete 4th July 2010 - The final section of the bike route from Laihia to Vaasa has now been completed, so today I cycled off to test it out. It was, as I predicted, very smooth, very black and a joy to ride on, and included this interesting chicane. Several other people were making use of it too - 'serious' bikers with competition clothes, a young mum with her kids in a trailer, and several not-so-young persons like myself. Click on the picture to see more photos.  Vanha Vaasa Canal gets an upgrade. Includes 36 photos and two maps. Click on the picture to go to the dedicated album on my Windows Live site. 
The FNS Pohjanmaa, flagship of the Finnish Navy, docked at Vaasa's Inner Harbour. She is currently the only one of her class, and has an ice operating classification of ICE-1A so she can operate all year round. During a crisis the main task for Pohjanmaa is mine laying and acting as a command ship. She also acts as a school ship for the Naval Academy cadets. Clicking on the picture will lead you to her album, where you will also find out her vital statistics. Click HERE to go to the Finnish Defence Forces' official website. 'Vaasa Pages' was born in January 2006 and is unique, both in design and content. I write all my own code so the pages don't look like the 'ready' formats available on the web. 'Vaasa Pages' is about the city I love, and is becoming increasingly more focused on the city itself and places which are within easy reach. It is also about the things that interest me - like Liberal values, the nature, sailing and history and my kids' school - it is about summers and winters. 'Vaasa Pages' is a name, an entity, and that is why it is an 'it' and not a 'they'. I hope you enjoy your stay amongst its pages, and I would love to hear your feedback.
