Get-pushed-96

@bernicrumb challenged me to take a photo or photos that is inspired by the key point or event in a fairy tale or a folk tale.

I choce to take the inspiration from a painting by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, depicting a scene from Kalevala, a Finnish epic poem. See the painting & more info here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gallen_Kallela_The_Aino_Triptych.jpg

The original story is a bit depressing so I wanted my version to be lighter, about playful fun
