I visited Tampere today. It is always a pleasure.
The photographs were taken at lake Vaipo on October 16th. You can perhaps guess from the photographs how quiet it was.

i would like to vote yes to you getting studded tires... and add my prayer for quick and total healing.. -and.. add that i liked the angle on your leg picture..
and -im sure there must be a name, in camera-speak, for the technique used when one thing is up close/in focus, and the background is blurred.. i really like those shots..
and the variety of moods, and temperatures this visit captured...
blessings!
Thanks!
This morning there was frost and ice on the ground, but I rode the bicycle very carefully, and everything went ok. I do have studded tires waiting for installation, but they are so much heavier to ride that I'm hesitant to use them when there is no snow - they don't work especially well on ice, and are worse than summer tires on asphalt. The commute time is about 45 minutes with the summer tires, and 50-55 minutes with the studded tires.
About the background blur, I guess the right term to use is "bokeh", and camera gear enthusiasts sometimes have endless discussions whether the bokeh of a particular lens is "creamy" or not...
