Back in the Baltic

Having only visited the Baltic for the first time a couple of months ago, this week I once again found my back on a plane bound for the north. This time my destination was Turku in Finland, for the closing seminar of the Central Baltic INTERREG programme.

Bluelightcamp 2014

One other highlight of Bluelightcamp 2014 was the impressive demonstration of a drone inside the elegant atrium of the venue at the Ordnance Survey in Southampton. You can watch a video of that here.
