travelling north.

we spent the Easter holidays in Oulu: during those five days we ate a lot of delicious home-cooked food and we also went on a few photographic excursions. I took my Nikomat EL with me and a couple of film rolls: I will share some of my favourite photographs from those over the next couple of weeks. let me begin with the ones I took during our long drive to the north.

Nikomat EL - Kodak 400
the drive from Helsinki to Oulu takes approximately six hours but it always takes a bit longer if you are stopping every once in a while to take photographs. I must have taken these somewhere in Keski-Suomi: the northern we went the colder it became and some of the lakes were still partly frozen. thankfully there were going to be some lovely sunny days ahead - even though we did not know that yet. I find that old and rusty iron bridge extremely fascinating!

    1. It was a really long drive, but eventually it was worth it!
      The clouds made the light look really dramatic that day.

    1. Finnish nature can be very melancholic, sometimes. Thankfully brighter days should be ahead of us now!
