while everywhere else the first flowers are blooming - here in
Finland there is still some snow on the ground. in a place where the winter is so long you have to try to find the beauty of it even when all you really want is spring. I took these photographs one morning in
Vuosaari a few weeks ago.
one morning in Vuosaari:
Nikomat EL - Kodak 400
like that white boat I cannot wait for the ice on the sea to finally melt. these once again look like
really melancholy photographs - yet when I took that walk by the pier in
Vuosaari I did not feel sad but just
very peaceful. the wind coming from the sea was cold but smelt wonderfully. I promise I am going to give you some clear skies soon - please keep on stopping by!
The one with the boat is amazing! It looks like journey is being anticipated :D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Katie! That boat sails to a lovely island during the summer... I have never been there, but I would like to go next summer!
Deletelove it, especially the second one with the boat ! Your pictures are a substitute for the snow I haven't seen this winter.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's good to hear somebody appreciates snow!
DeleteCanada and Finland have so much in common! These definitely look peaceful and make me want to more to the ocean
ReplyDeleteThey most definitely do! I wish I lived close to the ocean... Helsinki is on the Baltic Sea, which is more like a lake than an ocean!
DeleteMoody and gorgeous at the same time. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Charlyn!
DeleteBeautiful photos Polly, I love the winter photos with snow covered grounds. I wish one day it will snow here (in Singapore). ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I wonder how snow would look like in Singapore!
Deletehow long usually it will take from december until the snow melts in finland? i hope you stay warm up there. gorgeous photos as usual, Polly. i adore your photography
ReplyDeleteIt really depends, Niken; sometimes the winter lasts until the beginning of May. This winter has been quite mild and short actually, it might be already over.
DeleteThank you so much!
The serenity in these is breathtaking. Be thankful for this kind of view. Australia lacks this type of snow and oh how I wish we had it.
ReplyDeleteI've visited Finland in the summer though and its beautiful. One of my favourite places for sure
Thank you so much for stopping by, Samantha!
DeleteI'm really glad to hear you've been to Finland and that you think it's beautiful!
The composition on that second photo is so so good!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Inês!
Deletei can almost smell that wind :)
ReplyDeleteIt was very refreshing... I could feel the spring coming!
DeleteAll this white is so calming :D
ReplyDeleteIt is... but green can be very calming as well! I'm glad the snow has finally melted away now!
