Oh my! It is unbelievable what is happening with the tiny-handed leaker of a formerly great country. He is sad, silly, and stupid. And not only that but also bonkers, cockeyed, crackpot, crazy, demented, flaky, fool, loco, loony, loopy, lunatic, mad, nutbag, potty, reckless, and wacky.

Last week I got 14 hours of exercise. I should take a rest day, but the weather forecast promises rather nice weather for commuting by bicycle.

Today may be a less rainy day than yesterday, but the weather forecast doesn't provide much hope for sunshine. Well, one can still go for a walk and take photographs.

I have a big colored bruise on my shoulder (red, blue, purple, black, green and yellow shades), due to falling off my bicycle on Friday. There wasn't much pain in the shoulder, so I didn't realize I got hit there.

Today the morning was rather cold, 6 °C, but it was fine for walking. I took quite a lot of photographs of the autumn landscape, sun low on the horizon.

My left-side leg, hip, arm and palm are somewhat sore from the fall yesterday. I was rather angry with myself for not taking enough care when riding the bicycle. I had slick summer tires, and didn't pay enough attention, and thus I didn't manage to avoid the icy patch on the road in a curve.
Today I went for a walk despite the soreness, starting at 7:30 AM at Vaakkoi. It was sunny and cold. On open swamps the wet snow had frozen under 1-2 cm of lightweight fresh snow. The snow carried a person walking, and I followed a chain of open swamps in the north parts of Vaakkoi, walking for almost 2 1/2 hours.
So far I have got only 7 hours of exercise this week, because of the broken old bicycle. But I'm thinking of exploring swamps also tomorrow.

The photographs were taken at lake Pitkäjärvi, lake Kattilajärvi and lake Vääräjärvi in Nuuksio on February 13th.
I have got this year 608 km riding the bicycle, of which 160 km in March. For the night the weather forecast promises 5 cm of new snow, so tomorrow the road conditions will be bad. But soon I expect to get back to the normal routine, which means commuting by bicycle on at least four days each week. That will mean that there will be less walking, and thus less photographs to process. Currently I have over 2,000 photographs waiting on the computer.

On October 3rd I went to Velskola, and walked past lake Pitkäjärvi, circled around lake Kattilajärvi, and returned via lake Vääräjärvi. Autumn colors started to be in prominence.
Today I walked for 2 h 15 minutes at lake Myllyjärvi near Pirttimäki, exploring the nearby lakes and forests. It starts to be near the end of the autumn colors season.
Yesterday I wrote about the problems I'm having with the rear dial of the Panasonic LX100. When using the P mode, the rear dial can activate by itself and change the aperture and speed settings. Well, I realized today that there is an easy cure: switching to aperture priority mode. In fact, aperture priority has been my choice since I bought my first camera, the Minolta XG-1, and I have been using it with the LX3 and LX5. However, last spring I switched to P mode when I noticed that it works quite well on the LX100, making more or less the same choices I would normally be making when using aperture priority. Now the dark season is once again upon us, so it may be easiest to set the aperture ring to f/1.7 and keep it there.

This morning I walked over three hours, exploring the Slätmossen swamp south of lake Meiko. It was calm and there was no wind, so the surface of lakes reflected the autumn colors of trees.

The weather continues to be rather cool, the highest day temperature at +15...+18 °C. It is quite ok, as I'm not keen on having hot weather, but a little bit of warmth would be good once in a while.

Today morning I walked for two hours in Tremanskärr forests and swamps. Then I worked for 3 1/2 hours in the garden. Then I was exhausted.
