Hvitträsk #2

Hvitträsk was designed to be a studio home for the members of the Finnish architecture firm Gesellius, Lindgren, and Saarinen. It later became the private residence of Eliel Saarinen. It is located about 30 kilometers (19 mi) west of Helsinki in Kirkkonummi, Finland. These photos are from the grounds of Hvitträsk and the lake was now white 🙂

.[H]vitträsk literally means White Lake

Memory from fall

Aletta  kindly informed the name of this flower, Leonotis leonurus, also known as lion’s tail and wild dagga. Thank’s for that 🙂

Lakeview

After my walk, first taking in the beautiful fall colors on the ” big”road,  to enter the small roads between spruce forest, I arrived to this lovely lake view. It was a glorious October morning, all quiet and still. This were my first shots as I came to my destination – a peaceful moment by the lake.

Spruce forest

I walked through the thick grown spruce forest, there were places hardly any light came through. But a glimmer of light surely brought life to the place

Winding road

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I’ve seen that road before
It always leads me herecountry-roads-in-fall-6
