The wind is blowing and the trees are losing

So far this year I have got 4,416 km riding the bicycle. If things proceed normally, I should reach over 6,000 km by the end of the year.

Your beauty is beyond compare

The photographs were taken on July 2nd, when I had no idea of the dry and hot summer ahead.

An updated version of the LX100 camera was announced recently. I'm using a second LX100. With the first I took over 115,000 photographs before I had to buy a new one (because of the dust problem). With the second one I have taken over 105,000 photographs and the dust problem hasn't yet got bad. Before the LX100 cameras I had an LX3 (203,000 photographs taken) and an LX5 (186,000 photographs taken). Thus I have taken over 609,000 photographs with Panasonic cameras so far. The LX100 II camera seems to be a competent upgrade, and if the current LX100 breaks down I know what camera to buy.

Yet remain distant

The photographs were taken on July 3rd.

I got the bottom bracket of the bicycle changed today, and it felt fine to ride the bicycle back home. There is more repairs to be done, but the bicycle works for now.

A promise invisible

The photographs were taken in Sipoonkorpi National Park on June 21st.

When lubing the bicycle chain I realized the bicycle needs some repairs as the bottom bracket is loose. And when thinking about this I remembered that I need to order studded winter tires for the next winter, as the old ones got worn out. And there seems to be only one choice that is durable enough: Schwalbe Marathon Winter 700x40C.
