The lakeshore
Reflections
It was nice to go down to the shoreline the other night and look at the still water of the lake reflecting the sunset sky. There was no wind and the colour of the water almost matched the colour of the sky

On the bridge
I am not sure how many years ago exactly, but around years ago, someone decided that it was time for the old ferry to retire and to build this bridge instead. They brought and and gravel to the extend the road onto the lake and then started to build this bridge. When you walk across it you can still see the docking points of the small ferry.

Fireplace
Yesterday. It was just four thirty in the aftwrnoon buy it was already dark. The sign on the road told us to turn left. We followed a forest road for about three kilometres.

We reached the fireplace. […]

First picture of the year
I travelled to Eastern Finland for the beginning of the year. The forest is quite, silent. There is no wind. The snow stays on the branches of the trees. I can hear a woodpecker hitting the bark up on a tree nearby. The lake is frozen and the ice is covered by a layer of soft snow. Everything is still. Happy new year to all of you.
Layers
Some tree are gets white. Some remain green. Other lose their leaves. This is the winter. At least one photo a day
