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

Autumn patterns
Autumn is here. The leaves have fallen. The branches of the tree prepare for the winter. They overlook the lake shore. They resist the wind from the West.
I look at all this and feel the wind myself. This is where I am now. I am part of this evolving ecosystem and wonder at these autumn patterns.
Homeostasis
There is a balance in these trees on the lakeside. They are in balance with the stones on the lake shore. The water in the lake. The birds that are migrating south.
Hyväsalmi bridge
For many years there was a small ferryboat (called lossi in Finnish) to link the two shores of the lake. On the east side there is still the red wooden house of the ferry master. Today it is owned by a family with three kids who is taking good care of it during the summer and holidays. This bridge is the last stretch of asphalt road before reaching the cottage. The metal pilar holding the bridge make sharp sounds when it gets colder. I like walking on this bridge and the view North and South, with the horizon touching the surface of the lake in the distance.
