Pauper statue

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauper_statues

"Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord" - Proverbs 19:17

On Sunday morning I took a bus to Teisko, which is where I could find a pauper statue closest to my home. It still is part of Tampere, but it takes one hour bus drive to get there.

I've just finished reading about the pauper statues in Finland and Sweden. Very interesting take on today's challenge, Sami.

This is an interesting and worth knowing contribution from you to the challenge, Sami! Also the photo is very well composed by you.
I've never heard of these special pauper statues in Finland and Sweden. That's how I learn again something new through Ipernity! ;-)
