What is the visual equivalent

Lake 4

These photographs were taken at Vaakkoi on April 6th, at lake Vähä Majalampi and lake Väärä-Musta.

Today I rested, or at least didn't do anything physically strenuous. I did some shopping with my daughter, and being in a shopping mall can be taxing, but even that went ok. I did go out when it was sunset time, and took some photographs. It wasn't quiet, as there were a lot of bids singing: blackbirds, great tits, thrushes, and so on, everyone telling their own tale.

These photographs were taken in Vaakkoi on February 18th, showing some of the lakes I visited while walking around the area. There was still plenty of snow left.

Today the depth-of-snow figure at Vantaa airport is 0 cm. And the length of day is 10 h 5 min, which is fine indeed. However, as there is no snow left, the night gets very dark after sunset, quite a different feeling than a week ago.
