The photographs were taken on December 4th at Pitkäkoski rapids by Vantaanjoki river in Helsinki.

I commuted by bicycle today. Because of the cold weather it was once again nice to ride across the central park in Helsinki. The paths were frozen solid, no mud at all. There was slippery ice in only some isolated spots.

During the last two weeks I did some long walks on hard surfaces using my hunting boots, and that was a mistake. My left heel has been hurting. Riding the bicycle is good exercise because it doesn't stress the heel at all. Thus the heel should be healing in no time.

The photographs were taken on December 4th at the Haltiala nature protection area north of Paloheinä in Helsinki.

The weather is now rather like winter, temperature at -2 °C, and some sunshine to be expected during the day. There is even a little bit of snow in some places. I'm planning to go for a long walk in Sipoonkorpi national park.

The photographs were taken on December 4th at Paloheinä in Helsinki. While walking along the paths I got to 15 meters distance of two white-tailed deer, thanks to the meandering paths, but the photographs were blurry because it was so dark.
