The beauty of that gnarled serenity

Even a little bit of snow changes the landscape completely. But we don't have any snow now, so I'm posting photographs taken earlier this month.

That the world was open to my sorrow

There is no snow outside, but I have a couple of photographs with snow in them, taken nine days ago. Maybe this helps even if there is no winter feeling when you step out of the door.

Your will like the wind before rain

These photographs were taken yesterday in Luukki, visiting Myllyjärvi lake and Revonkorpi swamp. These are dark days, but even darkness has a kind of shine.
