  1. Are there a lot of mosquitoes by the lake already? I am seriously concerned for the upcoming months as I am allergic to those buggers!

    Comment by Jessica Kim — April 16, 2015 @ 07:48 | Reply

    • Hello Jessica.

      At this moment there are none. My photos are from 2014 and first mosquitoes will occur in the beginning of June. There are very few mosquitos by the lakes. Their appearance varies very much around in Finland, mostly man can meet them in spruce forests and on swamps and their environment. Thank you for Your comment.

      Have a wonderful day!

    • Hi Watayuki.

      Birches grow all over in Finland from the South to the North and even to the North of the Arctic Circle. In the North we call them dwarf birches, because they are small. On which area You live in Japan? Thank you for Your comment.

  13. What a beautiful landscape and what a gorgeous sunshine at that time when you visited Kangasniemi. The lakes with the reflections of the sun in the water, the fresh green of the trees … simply wonderful!
    Besides I enjoyed to see some more quilts and patchworks (my favourite: the pillow looking like the front of a house) and what I really liked very much (apart from all the other things mentioned): the birds at the wooden fence! Those made of these small twigs of willow or birch. Very expressive!

    Thanks for this new excursion and your beautiful photographs!

  17. It is a wonderful church. Though the church is a dark image, it is easy to get close very brightly here.
    Because the town where I live in is warm, there is no white birch. I long very much.
    The art object of the bird and the art object of the kettle are very interesting. The art object of the kettle is in front of a Kanazawa station, but may be the same writer.

    • Hello Martina.

      How wonderful comment. Thank You. Small places are quietness, although this place is among “civilization”. If You’ll visit someday Finland, then to find real peace and quietness, it can be found in our Northernmost part called Lapland. It is where the mind rests. It is our favorite place year after year.

      Have a nice day!

  29. What a lovely town and lake. There’s a nearby lake where I live and what I like about visiting it a lot is that it is a great place to see the seasons change. I hope you are enjoying Spring!

    • Hello Letizia.

      Thank you commenting so nicely this small town. How nice that You have also lake nearby where You live. The vaiety of seasons is one wonder of the nature. It is awsome to see how nature wakes from its hibernation after winter and how many plants start to “fight” from the Place under the sun.

      Have a great start of new week.!

WHAT A COMPOSITE! of indoor, outdoor, one can vicariously do/see/feel all this thru’ you! i really FELT like gettin’ on my bike and riding thru’ all of that, soaking it in — in my mind it’s a LONG ride!
