I hope with these images to paint a moment of a serene forest scene at sunset, where you can really appreciate the beauty of nature. Pine trees and spruce trees, the evergreens that give us color during the winter, and I want to share them this Friday. Tomorrow is our 108th Independence Day, so I am sharing some quintessential Finnish nature images.
Image of a tall old pine tree with a unique structure standing proudly against the evening sky. Beneath those towering trees, there’s a moss-covered rock, softly illuminated by the warm glow of the setting sun. The imagery brings forth a tranquil atmosphere, with silhouetted trees contrasting beautifully against the vibrant colors of the sky, crafting a picturesque and peaceful moment in the nature.
The mood of the image captures the golden hours of late afternoon, just before sunset, in a natural environment where sunlight streams through the trees, lighting up the forested area behind a rugged hill. Resilient conifers, such as pine trees, flourish under the intense sun and withstand frost with ease. This scenery features a rocky foreground adorned with lichen, set against a verdant wooded backdrop.
This wooded panorama is observable at sunset by the lakeside. The outlines of the trees contrast vividly with the horizon. The clouds in the sky are tinted by the low-glowing sun. The vista represents a quintessential Finnish natural landscape.

What a stunning portrayal of Finnish nature! Your words beautifully capture the serenity and golden glow of the forest at sunset. Reading this, one can almost feel the warmth of the sun on the moss, hear the quiet of the trees, and be transported to that peaceful, timeless moment.
Sunset is a serene moment, thank you for your kind words Vijay
You have conveyed the Finnish nature brilliantly. I adore sun and forest photos with a hint of sky. Of course a few mossy rock complement the scene too 😀.
Olet välittänyt suomalaisen luonnon loistavasti. Rakastan aurinko- ja metsäkuvia, joissa on ripaus taivasta. Tietenkin muutama sammaleinen kivi täydentää myös maisemaa 😁
You are absolutely improving your Finnish skills 💙
Or translator use 😁
There is indeed something serene about these views with the majestic pines. I especially love the shot with the moss-covered rock in the foreground. And happy Independence Day!
I think most of my photos are serene, as I rarely go out during bad weather 😂
Beautiful and soothing images Ritva. Thanks.
Glad you got a calm moment with them
A lovely pictorial hymn to your country.
You said it, thank you Margaret
Happy celebrations tomorrow, Ritva xx
Thank you, we celebrated with few glasses of bubbly by the fire.
Lovely xx
Beautiful images Ritva and wishing you and all of Finland a happy Independence Day tomorrow! 🎉💛✨️ xxx
Thank you! 😍
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää. (I hope that translation is correct.) Happy Independence Day. And the photos are incredible. I especially love the one of the forest floor with the red leaves and the one next to it with the sun peaking through the trees.
Thanks Marie, the translation is correct 😍 Happy to hear you liked my shots.
