Our summer house is closed for winter, but we took some furniture there, just before the snow we are just getting. Our red sauna looks pretty surrounded by the fresh snow but, I am biased as it is a dear place for me.

No travel in sight, so I am going to post photos of lovely places I have visited. I will keep it simple, lots of posts, less words is the theme in these posts.
I will spend few more posts on the Amalfi coast. We also visited the lovely village called Positano. These are the views when approaching the pier.
Positano as seen from the sea
I love the sea, beaches, forests, mountains, countryside and lovely cities and the people in them. Colors; blue, green, red, white, yellows and what ever you can find around you. I love beauty and these photos remind me of beauty I have seen.
Welcome to my travels, some of them you might seen before…well, that’s life! Let’s go with the flow…
views from my windows
Today it is snowing – a lot. We also had some snow yesterday. Winter has arrived to the Southern Finland. I have some new photos from our backyard and from the window from my office at home. This a small reality check between the memory lane of travels. Many years we have escaped this time of the year to the warmer lands to find sun and more pleasant temperatures.

I was going to leave Capri, but I have to share more of the beauty I saw. I am in no hurry, the travel ban is not going to lift anytime soon. These small roads, ways, are shouting out – shoot me, that sounds bad, – take a photo, is more appropriate 🙂
Clouds over the mountain tops!

Visiting Villa San Michele in Capri , looking at the long pergola and the that garden begins in the shade of the wisteria of the pergola, culminates bathed in sunlight on the Sphinx terrace and finds its end along an elegant avenue of cypresses. Every season has its flowers and scents of camellias, tree peonies, hydrangeas, vines and orange blossom.
The sphinx at Villa San Michele is approximately 3200 years old. It comes from Egypt and is carved in red granite.

Visiting Villa San Michele in Capri , looking at Hermes
Where the sculpture loggia ends and the long pergola begins stands a bronze statue that somehow marks the transition between indoors and out of doors. It represents the messenger of the gods, Hermes, sitting at rest. The small wings on the sides of his feet are folded. The sculpture is a turn of the 19th century copy of an antique original which was excavated in Herculaneum and now stands in the Archaeological Museum in Naples. This work of art was a gift to Munthe from the City of Naples in recognition of his relief work during the cholera epidemic 1884-85. (text: villasanmichele.eu/collection)

Amalfi sunset
I had seen this post( below), but for some reason I totally forgot to respond.
Today’s invitation goes all the way to Finland, where Ritva is trying to survive the dark of a Scandinavian winter. Take us away to somewhere sunny, Ritva, and if you do, link or pingback to my post/blog. Or just enjoy my photo when it gets dark, Janet thanks, I did enjoy yours 🙂
Countdown to 2021-30
I can now start counting the days to New Year. The traditional New Years fireworks have been cancelled due to Covid-19, but we have not shot them anyways, we have seen the ones our town fires, but I can live without them. I will post some photos from the past years. Not my specialty , but they are my humble attempts
Today is gray, we have a bit of snow, +3,9C temperatures, and so windy and wet. It can only get better from this.
One more year nearly done, and what a year it has been. Let’s set the table for the celebration, might as well start today.
That’s it for today 🙂
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.

Today is gray, we have a bit of snow +1C temperatures, maybe more snow in to look forward to. Nothing inspiring in the least.
We have spent few hours of watching M*A*S*H that aired on CBS from 1972 to 1983 from a DVD box we got several years ago. It follows a team of doctors and support staff stationed at the “4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital” in Uijeongbu, South Korea, during the Korean War (1950–53) It is still a great sitcom, the themes are universal and it is still relevant in many ways even if it is from early 70’s.

walk on the way
I read this from sloppybuddhist and it struck the cord with me. I believe this to be true. So I thought I would share.
As you start to walk on the way, the way appears
Buddha
Both these have the some action already happening to something good to appear. This is why I keep writing these blog posts, maybe I will find the way to inspiration. My other favorite is:
Inspiration exist, but it has to find you working
Pablo Picasso
These both images are from our trip to Sri Lanka

We celebrated New Year 2016 in India, Goa. There were so many people on the beach with us… so many. Many of them had never seen the ocean before…we also participated in the tradition of sending fire balloons or are they sky lanterns into the sky. It was a New Year Celebration like no other.
