Eh, that modern web design.

A large photo of some lake, that isn't even named, which contributes nothing to the article -- you need to scroll two pages to get over it, and it's before the first sentence of the article.

Maps that contain text and provide real context to the article's premise -- so small that the page needs to be zoomed in. Original images are slightly bigger, so the website actually makes them even smaller than they are.

It so matches the times we live in today.



Just to clarify the significance of the photo: the body of water in it is Neitokainen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neitokainen

It is a lake in Finland that has the shape of Finland.


The scale of the image, which makes it impossible to fit in one screen, makes this hard to spot if one's not intimately familiar with Finland's geography.

The lake itself is also interesting, but the fact that it was artifically shaped like this, makes it a little bit less interesting.
