I believe the first photograph of this batch to be
my favourite among the ones I took in
Koitelinkoski. in the first couple of images you can get a better look at the
rapids of Koiteli: the flow of the water is so strong that it is almost scary to get too near to the edge of the river. I could not resist to take a couple of closer shots though: when I take photographs
I tend to forget about my fears.

that
lovely wooden cottage is a cafe that unfortunately is open only during the summer time - I remember eating an ice-cream there the first time I visited
Koitelinkoski two years ago. the place has a totally different atmosphere in winter - in my opinion it is possibly even more fascinating!
i can imagine the red wooden cottage cafe in the summer. it's beautiful too sitting there covered in snow
ReplyDeleteYes, during the summer the cottage was lovely. Too bad it is closed in the winter time!
DeleteBrrrr brrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteHope you stayed warm while snapping these lovely photographs, Polly! ;)
I tried, dear Charlyn! Thank you!
DeleteThe first picture is great, but I think that in the second one the water looks even more beautiful! And the tree in the last picture gives great perspective into that photo!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sirpa! That's true, the second one shows the strength of the water even more!
Deletei'd be frightened getting so close to that freezing-looging water!!
ReplyDeletetoo bad that the cafè it's close during winter time.. it would be nice to look at that landscape with a hot chocolate cup in the hands!
I would have wanted a warm cup of tea so much that day - it was very cold!
Deletecaptivating and gorgeous, as always. i love what you said about forgetting your fears when you photograph.
