Weekly Photo Challenge: Treasure
I usually do not explain my photo choices. This lane takes me to a place I treasure for peace,my summer home. Watching this road you can see sun making beautiful colors and shadows as it goes around it. So it looks different all the time.. You can hear the birds sing – you can hear the silence! What a treasure to go and relax from the hectic life we lead.

Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover’s heart for me

Nature Photos from Porkkalanniemi – Finland
One of my favorite places
Porkkala is a peninsula in the Gulf of Finland located at Kirkkonummi in Southern Finland.
The peninsula had great strategic value, as coastal artillery based there would be able to reach more than halfway across the Gulf of Finland. If the same power controlled the Estonian coast, on the opposite side of the gulf, it would then be able to block Saint Petersburg’s naval access to the Baltic Sea. The distance to Estonia at the closest point is only 36 km (22 mi). Porkkala is furthermore located only 30 kilometers (19 mi) from Helsinki, the Finnish capital, and a foreign power based there would be able to exert significant pressure on the Finnish government.
Nowadays the coasts of the peninsula are popular bird watching areas during spring migration as the Arctic geese and other waterfowl are on their passage. I love going to this place, it is so beautiful .
Immilä Watermill
I posted pictures of this place during winter , here are shots from summer.
 The village of Immilä has a traditional mill site. The oldest written proof of this comes from the year 1548. The first sawmill in Immilä was constructed around 1760. Several mills running there contemporaneously were owned by the local villages of Immilä and Uusikylä together with two large mansions, Arrajoki and Toivonoja. Also other services such as an inn, a blacksmith’s forge and many other different craftsmen found their place in the neighbourhood. Even in 1950 there were still three watermills and two sawmills in use. Then rural life changed rapidly. Although the oldest power plant of Nastola became functional here as early as 1903, it was only in 1950 when proper electricity network was established. This new energy form along with better transport facilities was the end of the traditional milling industry and mills closed down one after another. The old Immilä village watermill was restored in 1997 –… |
