The photograph was taken at Salmi on September 3rd.
So far this year I have got 5007 km riding the bicycle. Last year I got 5000 km during the whole year, so now I'm a lot ahead, and 6000 km seems quite feasible.

The photographs were taken at Salmi outdoor area near Paratiisi on September 3rd.
We are getting some rain today, after a long period of dry weather. Tomorrow the streets may be slippery due to fallen leaves.

The photographs were taken at Salmi on December 21st. I have still quite a lot of photographs taken before it started to get colder.
The landscape looks quite different now, as there is snow, ice and frost, and temperature is at -25 °C. Today I commuted by car. I did see one person riding a bicycle in Helsinki.

The photographs were taken at Salmi, in the north-west corner of Nuuksio, on December 21st, walking towards south from the parking place at Paratiisi (which is "paradise" in Finnish).
This morning I walked for three hours in Meiko, visiting lake Tränuhals, lake Kommelpott and Grenomossen swamp. I returned to the car via lake Kotolampi, and took a shortcut on the ice at lake Mustlampi. It was quiet. I'm getting to like Grenomossen, because of the silence.

This is how it looks like at Paratiisi ("Paradise"), which is in Nuuksio south of Salmi. Nice wide paths for walking, and rather quiet environment, no noise from the roads and little noise from aircraft.

Yesterday I went for a walk with my daughter to Paratiisi in Nuuksio, south of Salmi. There was some heavy rain yesterday, but luckily that stopped while we got to the parking lot at the end of the narrow road. Autumn colors have almost disappeared, brown and black has replaced the bright colors. We walked for 1 1/2 hours, and it got dark before we got back to the car, but that was all right, we didn't stray far from the wide well-marked paths.
The photograph was taken on October 23, over a week ago. I should start going through the newer photographs, maybe there is some time for that today.

Photographs, taken a week ago, south of lake Salmijärvi in Etelälahti forests.

A week ago I went for a walk with my daughter at Salmi, going to the parking place south of the lake, to Etelälahti. What I didn't know was that there is a big trailer park there, must be more than a hundred trailers with people living in them all through the year. In any case, the paths through the forest were wide and well maintained, and even though the forest isn't all that wild, it was rather quiet, and some parts of the area contained a touch of the wild.

I'm still posting photographs taken over a week ago at Salmi, north-west corner of Nuuksio National Park. Schools are starting, and there is all kinds of extra busyness because of it.

I'm still posting photographs taken over a week ago. This lizard was warming up in the evening sunshine at Salmi, along a walking path southwest of lake Salmijärvi.
