Here are four photographs I took yesterday. The temperature was well above 0 °C, and snow was melting. I commuted by bus and tram, reading a book on the way.
It is getting colder now, next night the temperature will drop to -15 °C. That should mean that the snow gets hard enough to carry a person walking, and I'm planning to test it. But where to go? Some place which offers a lot of fine scenery not ordinarily easily accessible would be nice. Maybe the forests at Luukki would be good, or maybe I should try a completely different place.
There was a news item today that this has been a winter with least sunshine in 50 years. And it has been clouded almost all the time, making days dark and gray. Well, spring brings longer days, and maybe even sunshine.
