Or felt love or pond ice

The photographs were taken on November 12th.

This morning I walked two hours in Petikko. I saw two moose, but they ran away before I managed to take a photograph. Later on I met a hunter with a rifle, who was quite talkative, telling about the flooding in the forest and about the best routes. I kept silent about the moose.

That shines through the things

The photographs were taken on November 9th in Helsinki.

For tonight the weather forecast promises a little bit of new snow, perhaps 0.5 cm. It would make the landscape somewhat lighter.

Or was crossing one open space for another

The photographs were taken in Helsinki on November 8th.

I commuted by bicycle. There was ice and gravel on the road, making it challenging even though I have studded winter tires.
