Was so transparent that the scene came through

Winter 1

Winter 2

These photographs were taken on March 16th, showing the winter landscape we had after the snowfall.

So far this year I have got only about 600 km of riding the bicycle while commuting. Most weeks I have commuted by bicycle only on two days, and a couple of weeks I didn't use the bicycle at all. But if the weather holds like now - no snow or ice - there will be quite a lot of more kilometers this month, 32 km each day.

During the winter I have spend much more hours walking in forests and swamps than riding the bicycle, but this typically changes in spring and early summer, when I tend to commute by bicycle almost daily, and thus have less need to exercise otherwise. But this again changes during the summer vacation, when I don't need to commute by bicycle but can instead go for (really) long walks. The only problem nowadays is that I have gotten to know the nearby forests and swamps almost too well, and there is not much that I haven't yet explored.
