For many year I have been living in Southeast Asia. There were only two seasons then: wet season and dry season. Temperatures staying more or less the same. I have been back with my family in Finland for more than three years now and I re-discovered the beauty if four seasons. My uncle used to ask me when I was living in Asia: don’t you miss the seasons? My answer was no, I did not. […]
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.
Less than 8 hours of day light. Better to put some warm clothes on go for the 7km walk around the village and hamlets of Niinikumppu, in the countryside not far from Kitee.
t is six months that I have not posted new photos or written a blog post. Maybe it because of the pandemic and the fact that the days seem all the same

This year’s Vappu was empty. People stayed at home. they followed the social distancing guidelines that need to be followed now. The streets in Tampere where empty. Few people sat in the parc. The coffee shops were open only for takeaway. Hopefully, next year things will be better. At least one photo a day
