What next we look for at your hand

Somehow I got a craving for snow, or at least photographs of snow. So here are some, taken on November 29th in Meiko, testing out a path marked with green signs, which I hadn't checked out before. It was a great thing to see the white landscape, and for most of the route I was the first to be walking on the snow.

Of one white moment into another

I went for a walk after sunset on November 23rd. Some snow still remained, lightening the landscape. A fine day to be out walking with a camera - the LX100 sees much better than the human eye in the dark.

I commuted by bicycle today, but I'm not feeling too well. I have been sneezing a lot, and coughing also, and I suspect the flu symptoms are gaining strength.

How we waited, how we hid

Today I traveled to Tampere to attend a seminar. The train was late in the morning, and the timetable was tight, but everything went fine.

These photographs were taken today at the Tikkurila railway station. (Tikkurila is a Finnish company that produces paints and colors.)
