polaroids of a journey.

Helsinki - Tampere - Oulu - Särkimö - Oulu - Kilpisjärvi - Tromsø - Oulu - Helsinki.
26 polaroids of the journey:
bed and breakfast near Tampere.
✻ in Kyllikki's garden - Oulu.
✻ at the summer house [mökki] in Särkimö - Ostrobothnia Pohjanmaa.
riding my bike in Oulu - will it be so easy to bike in Helsinki?
✻ images from Pohjois-Pohjanmaa and Lappi - on the way to Kilpisjärvi.
✻ I have never seen as many reindeers as I have during this trip - not to mention two moose calves.
✻ crossing the finnish border to reach Norway - from Kilpisjärvi.
night(less) time in the beautiful city of Tromsø.
✻ more images from Norway - where the ocean smells different from our Baltic Sea and where I have found shells and sea urchin's skeletons.
✻ on the way back to Finland.
✻ last day in Oulu - before driving back home to Helsinki.
I hope the photographs will be able to resume a little the magic of what I have seen. ♡ colours and smells and sounds of those places are going to be forever a source of inspiration for me!
