The Streets of Rauma in Winter
Pedestrians walk along the winter streets of Rauma, Finland towards the Town Hall, which can be seen in the distance. At the time, Rauma was a small coastal town with a population engaged primarily in fishing, agriculture, and maritime trade. Street lights had made their way to Rauma by this time.
Winter in Rauma, as in the rest of Finland, brought short daylight hours, extreme cold, and limited access to resources but life continued despite the hardships.
