Halo – Sävträsk, Lovisa, Finland. January 2016.
I just feel so alive when the cold front creeps over the country. The beauty of the crystals, the ice, the snow, the light – everything feels magical. I feel privileged to live in a country with four seasons and I really enjoy it when we have them all during the year – it is enriching and good for the diversity in nature. Some winter birds and panoramas from the first month of the year 2016 – enjoy!
