the second day of
our holiday in
Northern Finland we decided to go back to
Liminganlahden Luontokeskus: the nature reserve that we had visited last summer. unfortunately the weather was rainy and unpleasant but the views of
the vast and lonely countryside were still very fascinating.
views of Liminka:
Nikomat EL - Kodak 400
the countryside in the
municipality of Liminka is full of
abandoned farm houses and barns: I would love to stop by and photograph every single one of them and maybe one day I finally will. even though the cloudy weather was captivating to photograph I was very glad when
the sun came out that evening: thankfully the rest of our holiday was sunny!
Love that second shot SO much!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Pieni Lintu!
DeleteThe photo of the abandoned barn looks stunning. I adore the dark atmosphere in your photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Ingeborg! I also like that first photograph the most.
DeleteBeautiful! I think that clouds look better in these pictures than blue sky would have looked!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sirpa! I do too, but I was very happy when the sun came out eventually!
DeleteEnchanting!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nicole! And thank you for stopping by this blog!
DeleteI like visiting places in different types of weather, it makes it more dramatic and atmospheric I think :) Love these!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rhianne! I completely agree with you!
DeleteBeautiful Polly ! Love the first one.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Birdie! I really like it too!
DeleteBeautiful shots Polly!
ReplyDeletesecond shot seems like taken from movie. :)
Thank you! It was indeed a very scenic view!
Deletethis soft light goes along so well with the landscape :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Sara! I agree, in the end it wasn't that bad to have that kind of weather for a day!
DeleteI too have a bit of an obsession with abandon farmhouses. They are so fascinating to explore! I know a rainy day of travelling is annoying when you are there but it sure does make for lovely photos!!
ReplyDeleteThe backpack is a Canadian company called Herschal Supply Co. I actually ordered it for myself but when I got it it seemed a little big for me so it became his. I like when he carries around all my stuff anyways ;) haha
Thank you, dear Shy! And thank you so much for letting me know about Herschal Supply Co. - I think I want to buy at least three different backpacks of theirs now, oh my!
DeleteBeautiful images! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Juliette! And thank you for stopping by Passer Domesticus!
DeleteThese are like paintings, Polly!

Dear Charlyn, thank you so much!
Deleteyou should publish a photo book of finnish abandoned farm houses and barns!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely idea, Silvia! I have been thinking about it for a while, but I would like to do it properly... it may take years!
DeleteThe places you visit and the photos that you bring... they make me tick Polly!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diogo! It was a very dramatic landscape!
DeleteThose colors are fantastic, I love traveling through your pictures
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Barbara! That's a beautiful thing to say!
DeleteOh Polly, I love the whole set but the first photo is so beautifully composed. The grey sky gives the perfect contrast to all the rough textures below, it's incredible. Brava!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Inês! I really like that first photograph too. That lonely cottage and the stormy weather looked incredible!
DeleteI love the vast flatness conveyed in these photographs. Not so different from my mid-western home.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Frances! And thank you for stopping by!
