Lake Vanajavesi / Lago Vanajavesi / Lac Vanajavesi

In English:

Fall photos of the lake Vanajavesi in Hämeenlinna.

I like to visit in Hämeenlinna many times during the year. Hämeenlinna is famous for its medieval red brick castle (Castle of Häme) which dominates the overall view of this small town. There is nice walking track / path which is passing “around” small part of the lake Vanajavesi. Plenty of people are running or walking around in this scenery, some are simply enjoying the beauty of the landscape with lake view.

To reach Hämeenlinna is easy from Helsinki by train which lasts only one hour and three minutes. The trip from my home takes 40 minutes by car. My walking tour took about one hour and 55 minutes with all the photographing stops, enjoying some nice cup of coffee from our thermos bottle and eating some sandwiches. I was lucky on that sunny Tuesday on October 6th in 2009, because sun was shining at low angle and this means to the photos, that colors are warm colored in my photos.

En español:

Caminando a la orilla otoñal del lago Vanajavesi en Hämeenlinna.

A mi me gusta visitar en Hämeenlinna muchas veces durante el año. Hämeenlinna es famosa por su castillo rojo medieval de ladrillo (Castillo de Häme) que domina la vista general de esta pequeña ciudad. Se puede caminar por una agradable pista / sendero que pasa alrededor de pequeña parte del lago Vanajavesi. Muchas personas corren o caminan en este paisaje, algúnos disfrutan simplemente de la belleza del paisaje con vista de lago.

Para llegar a Hämeenlinna es fácil desde Helsinki viajande en tren que dura sólo una hora y tres minutos. El viaje de mi hogar toma 40 minutos en carro. Mi paseo tomó aproximadamente una hora y 55 minutos con todas las paradas de fotografía, disfrutando de algún café rico de nuestra botella de termo y comiendo algunos bocadillos. Tuve suerte porque el Martes 6 de Octubre fue muy soleado, porque el sol brillaba en ángulo bajo y esto significa a las fotos, que el color en mis fotos estában llenas con colores cálidos.

En francais:

Déambulant sur la rive automnal du lac Vanajavesi à Hämeenlinna.

J’aime visiter á Hämeenlinna plusieurs fois pendant l’année. Hämeenlinna est célèbre pour son château de brique rouge médiéval (Château de Häme) qui domine la vue générale de cette petite ville. Il y a une piste agréable de promenade / le chemin qui passe “autour” de la petite partie du lac de Vanajavesi. Beaucoup de gens courent ou déambulent dans ces paysages, quelques apprécient simplement la beauté du paysage avec la vue de lac.

Pour atteindre Hämeenlinna a facile d’accès de Helsinki en train parce que le voyage dure seulement une heure et trois minutes. Le voyage de ma maison prend 40 minutes en voiture. Ma randonnée à pied a durée environ une heure et 55 minutes avec tous les arrêts de photos, goutant quelque tasse savoureuses de café de notre bouteille de thermos et mangeant quelques sandwichs. J’ai eu la chance de parce que ce mardi 06 octobre 2009 était ensoleillée l et que le soleil brillait à l’angle bas et ceci signifie aux photos, que elles étaient pleins de couleurs chaudes.

  1. Hello Matti,
    L’automne s’installe doucement, et malgré le passage du train et des ferries, le coin semble très paisible !
    Un faible pour les sous-bois 28, la succession d’escalier et de pont 15-16, les rivages 19 et 31, et, et, etc !….
    Le château est superbe dans cette lumière douce.
    Bon week-end.
    Bises

    • Bonjour Marion.

      C’est vrai ce que tu dis. L’automne est arrivé et il a neigé la nuit précédente un peu ici où je vis. Le sol était blanc et sur les routes, bien sûr et il y avait de nombreuses collisions de voitures véhicules. Quel dommage. Il semble que certaines personnes finlandais ne peut pas comprendre que les routes sont glissantes.

      Bon week-end á toi aussi.

    • Bonjour Frammy.

      J’aime l’automne bien que il est si peu de temps pour nous donner ses couleurs. En même temps je me sens triste dans mon cœur, parce que les temps froids et sombres sont à venir.

      Belle journèe.

  4. Good morning Matti,
    I am excited about these beautiful colors and images. The first two pictures are again a very nice introduction to your journey. The clear blue sky and the lake harmonize fantastic, with the autumn colors. All images in this series are a delight. The sunlight supports the autumn colors positively. The architecture of the castle is interesting and fits very nicely into this landscape. On such walks it is pleasant to take a thermos of coffee and some bread. So you can shoot in peace and enjoy the scenery. I think you have both enjoyed this very special day. I am grateful for it that I could visit this page again and look forward to the next series. We wish you and Anja have a nice weekend all the best and health to your everyday, common paths. Thank you for all your nice comments on my page. A few days ago I sent you an e-mail. Dear greetings Christel and Detlev

    • Good morning Christel.

      Thank You. We really enjoyed our walking tour on that sunny day. The air was cold, but refreshing. So after this short trip our minds were happy and we enjoyed our life.

      Schönes-Wochenende!

  6. Une très très belle série aux couleurs automnales. J’aurais personnellement préféré les photos présentées une à une avec possibilité de les commenter selon nos choix… mais je comprends le tien de faire une présentation en série.

  7. Bonjour Marie.

    Je te remercie Marie. Je fais tous mes messages avec un série de photos et seulement une fois par semaine, principalement les vendredis. Ce type de poste demande beaucoup de travail. Si l’on veut commenter une photo spéciale, on peut voir le nom de la photo lorsque on déplace le pointeur de la souris sur d’une photo.

    Belle journèe.

  8. Bonjour Sartenada

    moi aussi j’aime les couleurs de l automne, mais j’aime pas trop quand l automne arrive car il faut fermer les fenetres et portes…..l hivers arrive…
    Mais j’ai une question sur une de tes photos.?
    les trains chez vous roule à gauche ou a droite ?
    en france il roule à gauche sauf la region Alsace Lorraine en gros de Metz à Strasbourg. Suite ancienne région Allemande durant la guerre 1939-1945. et c’est rester comme cela depuis.
    je vous souhaite une bonne journée et un bon week-end.

    • Bonjour Frammy.

      Merci beaucoup pour ton intéressante question. J’ai dû y réfléchir avec méticulosité et ma réponse est juste comme les voitures sur les routes, ainsi sur la droite. Ceci peut être vu sur la quatrième photo. Aussi Métro de Paris (Métropolitain) roule sur le côté droit.

      Bonne soirèe.

  9. Beautiful autumn colors! What a gorgeous place to explore and photograph. I really like the photos of the medieval red brick castle (Castle of Häme). Wow! Now, that is a place I’d like to thoroughly explore. I enjoyed your photos.

  12. Once more, some really stunning photos of this time of the year. The reflections in the water are just beautiful. I have been waiting for our annual trip to Falls Lake to get more photos. We did that yesterday, so I too will put them on my Blog. Thank you for a similar but very different outing.
