Today: Sunrise at 9:24- Sunset 15:15- Length of day 5:50 hours – time of dusk 0:58 minutes . A minute less of daylight than yesterday. Only 2more days until winter solstice.
One more rainy, misty December morning, no feeling of winter or Christmas. Gone are the days of white Christmas here in the south of Finland – or at least they are very rare and far apart. Our local church looks nice even with out snow.
I can look at old photos of snow…
I will be posting new and old photos somehow related to winter, Christmas and eventually anticipation of new year. My aim is to take one new photo a day, but not going to stress over it, if I don’t come up with anything.

Wow … “gone are the days of white Christmas” in your area hit me. Do you miss it?
Yes, it brings so much light to otherwise dark time
Hang in there as a special time in approaching. Meanwhile I invite you over for a beach walk with a photo callaboratorr and me
Well, I haven’t seen a white Christmas for well over a decade. Today I am showing an image of a more usual type of scene…dreary: https://suejudd.com/2020/12/19/countdown-to-2021-17/
it is vary rare here too…
And I thought you have white Christmas always in Finland. I read in our newspaper 70% of our Christmas days are green… The last one I remember was 2010.
Here are some lights I found: https://geriatrixfotogallerie.wordpress.com/2020/12/19/countdown-to-2021-19/
Just before we moved to Arizona, I was blessed by our part of Illinois getting a large amount of snow. I hurried to the park that morning to find to my joy that I was the first person there and I saw no one else the entire time. It was wonderful!! Your snow picture brings that back and the church photo is a beautiful contrast between the lights and the blue of the evening.
