***********
The gorgeous gray granite boundary stone was erected in 1903 on the border between the town Tampere and The Northern Pirkkala. In 1937 part of The Northern Pirkkala (Pispala) was united with Tampere and the boundary stone removed. The stone was lying in the storage of the municipality tens of years, until at the instogation of the local organisation Pispalan Moreeni this boundary stone was reinstated on its old place Rajaportti in 2007. I made a rather large (30 x 14 cm) linocut from this subject. When printing the picture I added some white colour on the black so that the grain of the stone might be more visible. One of the best tools printing by hand is a heavy nicely on my palm fitting granite stone that I found on the shore of Pyhäjärvi. There is a fine pale stripe shaped by the ice age. The cat has climbed on the stone pillar to the dismay of its friend, so he is the king of the boundary stone.
