The frost lightly pinching the cheeks smells fresh. The snow crunches under the shoes, otherwise there is unbroken silence. It's good to be here. #metsä #forest #winter #nature #finnishnature #winterinfinland #photography #landscapephotography

The old church of Petäjävesi is located in the municipality of Petäjävesi, about 30 kilometers from Jyväskylä in central Finland. The church was built during 1763 - 1821. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994. #photography #landscapephotography #buildingphotography #history

The feeling you get at the top of a fell, when you have once again overcome yourself and your doubts, cannot be compared to anything. The wind is blowing at the top, your mind is calm and peaceful. #hiking #photography #naturephotography #landscapephotography

I spent last week in the northernmost municipality in Finland, Utsjoki. Spent days sitting on riverbank, wondering in the mountains, just relaxing and enjoying. Took a lot of photos, here's some of them (for the beginning). #photography #landscapephotography #naturephotography #nature #finnishnature

This little one was enjoying the August sunshine by a lake. 🥰 #keltavästäräkki #motacillaflava #westernyellowwagtail #birds #finnishbirds #nature #finnishnature #photography #birdphotography #naturephotography
