| In the midst of nature: from Winter 2009 |
When you take your camera for a walk metsässä (in the forest), you don't always end up taking pictures of what you might expect.
So we are walking in Nuuksion Kansalaispuisto (Nuuksio National Park) where we are staying for the weekend - in a better than average lakeside mökki (cabin) - with Bore and her American friend 'Saab'. We figure we should go for a walk and enjoy the snow and light, both likely to fade; so we set off down the track hoping to link up to the 'proper' walking trails, talking about the climate here and in the northern states, buying flying squirrel poo on the internet, (mis)identifying animal tracks and (if you are Konna) trying to do penguin impressions... so generally enjoying walking in the woods.
After trying a couple of turns we end up following this car width track for about 30 minutes until we reach a dead end with a small hut and a big red phone mast. Well I guess that's what you get if you want good 3G mobile coverage, but still...

And before you ask - no we didn't need to chase off the wolves with the woodpile axe... http://www.iltasanomat.fi/uutiset/kotimaa/uutinen.asp?id=1758946
I love this picture - I always look for unusual shots like that when I am out and about... Still trying to figure out our new camera though.
I've got two matchboxes full of flying squirrel poo for sale if you are interested. (Protect your favorite piece of public land from development projects! Cheap!)
Thanks Carmen - I was with someone who is about to study photography at college so I felt the need to try to be inventive!
Must be a risky business looking for matches at your place Willie.
