On the top of Europe

                      Sometimes even I do go up towards the clouds – or almost above them. I had the opportunity to visit Mount Pilatus and stay there for two nights – what an experience! To open the window before sunrise and look out over the alps…it... (more)

99 – Happy Birthday Finland!

Happy birthday Finland! Today, 6.12.2016 we celebrate for the 100th time our nations birthday to be precise, as the very first one also is counted in. 99 full years of independence – a great country to be born in – I would say we are VERY PRIVILIDGED to live in a country as Finland.

Merry Christmas – God Jul – Hyvää Joulua – Frohe Weinachten – Feliz Navidad

Beautiful things last for just a short moment – the magic of a photograph is to catch the disappearing beauty. In this case the disappearing snow. Merry Christmas to all of you out there!

Preparation for hibernation

I have said it before and will probably say it many times in the future: the first light snow cover and the first thin sheet of ice on the lake is always magical. It is pure, fresh – virginlike and gives you the feeling of nature being reborn. Placing your feet on the thin ice... (more)

To experience winter should not be luxury…

…unfortunately it is the cold truth this winter…You have to travel far north to see pure white snow… We just had to do it – go north – otherwise this winter could not be called a winter. The gray rainy light all over does not lift you up really… Here are some shots from Ruka... (more)
