Into the great body of the world

Today I went for a walk in Tremanskärr. The night was cold, so the snow was frozen hard, but in the swamp there were wet and flooded spots so one had to be careful where to put the foot.

The photographs were taken on March 7th in Meiko, between lake Kommelpott and lake Tränuhals.

But never had explored in true detail

These photographs were taken at lake Kommelpott on September 28th. Today I attended a concert where my daughter played the piano.

To be worth the looking at

These photographs were taken on January 18th, during my walk to Kommelpott and back. A little bit of snow and frost are magic.

I heard today on the radio a news item about how much Finnish people are watching tv daily. Three hours per day was mentioned, which seems quite high, but maybe this was some particular subset of people. My average time per day for watching tv is two minutes.

Wrought patiently into the snowy lawn

These photographs were taken on January 18th at lake Kommelpott, which I hadn't visited before. There were no marks of anyone else having walked there since the snowfall, and it was very quiet. I'm getting reasonable proficient in using the compass, walking here from Tränuhals without any paths to follow.
