photographs from oulu VII.

I hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas day! I took these photographs more than two weeks ago - still I think they look quite Christmassy with that beautiful white snow. that morning in Oulu the sky was clear and the temperature was -18°C: Jacopo and I walked along the Oulujoki river and found some spectacular spots to photograph - a very cold but lovely excursion!

along the river we entered the garden of a lovely cottage that looked uninhabited: the view was beautiful there! the frozen trees and the colour of the ice were incredible and everything around us was so peaceful in the frosty air - not to mention that the cottage itself looked fantastic too! the most spectacular bit of our walk was yet to come though: I will share more about it in my next post.
Happy Christmas and thank you for stopping by Passer Domesticus! ♥

    3. Thank you, Lusu! I'm happy you like it! It's on Wordpress, but I have to say Jacopo helped me a lot styling it - he's really skillful at web designing. You should check out the various themes that Wordpress has, some of them might be interesting for you as well!

  5. Your posts always make me feel so cold (in a good way), as if I can feel the chills brought by the snow all the way here! Taking the opportunity to drop a comment since it's Christmas :) *goesbacktolurking*
