I walked today for two hours in Nuuksio forests, starting from Siikajärvi side. I was cold, -13 °C when I started out and -11 °C when I returned. Well, coldness is relative, it really was quite nice weather for walking, but one isn't yet used to the cold.
It was also sunny, and that was a pleasure, to be out, in the sunshine, and fresh snow made the landscape look like it would have been created yesterday.

Johan on mahtavat näkymät - tunnelma kovasti talvinen.
Hieno kuvasto alkavasta talvesta...
@Eko: Nuuksion kansallispuisto on aika hieno paikka kyllä, eikä se tähän aikaan vuodesta ole edes kovin kansoitettu.
Vastaan tuli mies koiran kanssa ja leveät metsäsukset kannossa olalla. Vaihdoimme pari sanaa kelistä. Taisi olla raskasta, nyt oli metsässä ihan liian vähän lunta hiihtämiseen.
We really need to get you to come to the States -- you need to visit Starved Rock state park in Illinois to photograph the bald eagles in January (and get in a few shots of the ice falls in the canyons). You also need to go visit the hidden canyons in Arizona.
@Anonymous: Sounds good, although I'm not too happy about the long, long flight to the States and all the nice formalities when arriving.
Juha: If I made it all the way to Australia, 19 hours in flight, 24 hours total travel, you can make to the States! :) Besides, lots of stuff to see in North Carolina. We could even go up into the mountains, such as they are here, and find some snow.
@Paul: Maybe some day!
I recently read John Muir's "A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf", which tells of those days when it was possible to go from one place to another by walking in the USA. And you had a lot of forests where you could freely walk...
