Survivors

Black and White / Forest

Commercial forests means that you may see a pine and birch tree forest growing for many years and at one point machines come in an cut the trees leaving only few standing. It is a strange view when you get on top of a hill and you see some barren hills next to hills where the trees are growing. When an area is cut, they always leave few older trees standing which may shed seeds and help the regrowth. These lonely trees have always looked like survivors to me.

Frozen lake

Lake

There are no clouds in the sky. There won’t be many hours of daylight. So, better to hurry and go for a walk in the forest along the lake. The temperature has gone up and down around 0 C. During the days the ice sheet loosens up. At night time, when the temperature drops below zero, you can hear deep and mysterious sounds that runs along and below the ice surface when it tightens up again.

Black and White

I need to stop the series of street photos from Padova. I am in Helsinki at Vantaa airport to get on a plane. I thoughts I had saved the photos on my hard disk and planned to continue to post them during the this coming week. I must have done something wrong while copying the files. So, I will post a series from last New Year when we spent a week at our cottage in Eastern Finland. I will resume to Padova series, when I get back in a week.
