weather

couldn't decide
should it be sunny or snowing

first snow

yesterday
there was sleet, and
bicycling was no fun at all.

today
the sleet was frozen.
i left my bike home and
enjoyed the whiteness.

quay

watching the scenery on a breakwater. 

in town - part 3

all the parks are coloured by autumn

in town - part 2

A new bridge and plenty of new houses are being built.
In future this scenery will look a lot different. 

in town

the day was sunny

and the colours of autumn were bright

wind was blowing

it was like another world
with all that noise the waves were making.

water

the water is 5.5 °C.
it's time to start winter swimming season, they say.

by the lakeside

warm days are gone, i think.

leaves

in summer they were green.
now they are one by one turning to yellow.

tähtikallio observatory

the place was wonderful
for spinning and knitting

bird tower

liked the view a lot.
didn't see too many birds,
though i think we weren't really looking.

picnic

days are still warm enough
we had a blanket, good coffee, lake view and sunshine

small town

the houses look pretty by the field

summer cottage

as a child i used to spend most of my summers at summer cottage.
this summer we visited my parents at the cottage.

the fields

driving through Keski-Pohjanmaa, Central Ostrobothnia

the night was warm

and beautiful
at Lake Valkeinen
