I am a tree, washed with tears, It happens like this: the rain falls in places, Only here have they long flowed in streams, And the downpour rages day and night, And soon the cold ice of winter Will take hold in its prickly embrace... So life flows in stripes -
How wonderful, Andrey!!! Thank you for the touching and very heartfelt gift!!! I am extremely pleased; the memories of that kayaking trip are precious...
We almost missed this event back then...we were on duty...But then the group really enjoyed the dinner (we tried to surprise them) and decided to reward us – they took our crew and everyone else who wanted to go to the cliff for a second time after dinner...We were in a hurry and took shortcuts, climbing almost vertical cliffs...in short, everyone got their share of the fun, but no one regretted it – it's a beautiful place. A little history of the area. Aina Rock on Karnetsari Island. According to some, one of the tragedies described in the Kalevala (a Karelian-Finnish poetic epic) took place here. Supposedly, Aina's brother and mother wanted to marry the old man Väinämöinen, but she decided to commit suicide and jumped from the cliff, which split in half. Incidentally, in the classic Kalevala, the rock sank completely into the water, and the girl turned into a goldfish, but that's just a local legend for tourists. The rock is about 20 meters high, and you can carefully paddle a kayak into the crevice.

And soon the cold ice of winter
Will take hold in its prickly embrace...
So life flows in stripes -
Everything passes, and my chill will pass too...
