To hold back chaos I transformed

The photographs were taken at Kytäjä-Usmi outdoor are in Hyvinkää on December 28th, 2017.

This morning I walked for 2 1/4 hours, exploring the snowy fields at Petikko. There was 15-25 cm of unbroken snow on the ground. Well, unbroken except for some deer tracks.

So many things

I commuted by bicycle on only two days this week. Still, I got over seven hours of exercise: four hours riding the bicycle, 1 1/2 hours shoveling snow and 1 1/2 hours walking.

Look around to see is anyone watching?

We got plenty of snow today. Commuting by train went well, but because of the snow it took some effort to get the car moving from the parking place at the station. The weather station at Helsinki-Vantaa airport got crazy, claiming the the depth of snow is 54 cm when yesterday it was 6 cm. I think the actual depth of snow is 30-35 cm.
