Wednesday around the world – Vääksy
I visited as small town of Vääksy. The main attraction there is Vääksy channel or also known as Vesijärvenkatu channel, it is located in Asikkala. The channel that connects the Vesijärvi lake to Päijänne lake. The Vääksy channel is currently Finland’s busiest boating channel.The channel has only one seal. The water surface height difference of about three meters. The channel is surrounded by the town of Vääksy.
The main photo is the bird pic, as I hardly ever am able get photos of them or presentable pics at l east.

After rain
I am trying very hard to find something positive about our summer weather this year. Honestly, It is so, so hard, it has been cold (+12C )and it has been raining most of the time. BUT on the positive side you might get few good drop pics. I am rather happy with these…
Wild strawberry
So good, so tasty.
A Word a Week Challenge – Remote
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name …
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
