On Sunday I walked for two hours, but it felt longer, as I got into terrain which was really rugged, trees had fallen across the way and there were steep rocky hills to go up and down. I should have circled around but instead I just kept going on, which wasn't such a bright idea. But it was good exercise at least.
The weather forecast is promising rather cold weather for next week, temperature between -10...-20°C, so we are having quite nice winter weather. There is only 2-3 cm of snow, which is good for walking in forests and swamps, but not so good for skiing.
The ground is drying up, and the water level has gone down 5-10 cm in the swamps, which means that there are places where there is a thin cover of ice, easily broken up, and underneath there is another layer of ice, much stronger, but it isn't such a nice feeling when the ice breaks under your feet.
The photographs were taken on January 15th in Helsinki while commuting.
