To the old primary school
These are few photos from the short walk to the old primary school in Niinikumpu.
The first day of the year
I woke up. Put on my boots and windbreaker and walked down to the lakeshore. The ice cover had thickened over the night and thin layer of dry snow had covered the ice sheet overnight. It was chilly this morning but the air was clean and crispy. A nice way to wake up. Welcome 2020! At least one photo a day

Bye bye 2019
Last sunset of the year. The temperature is dropping quickly. The ice on the lake is thickening and the lake send strange sounds of bubbling water and ice cracking for long distances and with echos that travel the hills. At least one photo a day
Solitude
I took these pictures during the walk around the hill of Niinikumpu. The electricity poles standing in the middle of snow covered fields seemed to stand in solitude against the winter. At least one photo a day
Walk
There are few hours of day light in December in Finland. That is why during the holidays it is important to take advantage of those few hours and go tor a walk. At least one photo a day
