A walk by the frozen sea

Today we had a walk in the Uutela forests by the sea in Helsinki. It was rather cold, so we didn't stay long, but at least it was bright and the sun even peeked from between the clouds.

Here are three photographs from today. I'm not sure, but I think that the stag and cross sign refers to St. Eustace - something I managed to find with the Google image search.

Update: As noted in the comments, this is the Jägermeister logo.

Interesting photos as usual. That the Baltic freezes in winter has always fascinated me. I lived most of my life in Dartmouth Nova Scotia which is the main operating base for the Canadian icebreaker fleet. We were always hearing about Finnish delegations visiting town to sell us some new ice breaking technology.

As to the sign post this is also the logo for Jägermeister liqueur from Germany.

Well, last winter we didn't get much ice on the sea, but this winter there has been a bit colder.

Thanks for the info about the logo, Jägermeister it is.
