A grand finale unfolds across the lens

I went today to Sipoonkorpi National Park, starting from the parking place at Bakunkärr. There were no other cars at the parking place when I arrived. I walked for 2 1/2 hours, going first northwest, following the map closely. I found a route I had tried to explore last year but hadn't succeeded.

After finding the place I was looking for I didn't pay much attention to the map, walking towards south or southwest, following the little unmarked paths that go across the forests and swamps. There was only a little snow left, and that had frozen during the night, so walking was easy, except that climbing the rocky hills took some effort.

After walking for some time I was lost, which felt good, and I continued going south, until finally I decided to start walking east, back towards the parking place.

At this point I had not much idea where I was except approximately within a square kilometer or so. After walking for an hour or so, I realised I had arrived at the path near the parking place, and there was only 50 meters to go to the car.

The photographs were taken in Helsinki on March 1st.
