Finland is Europe’s most heavily-forested country. Forests take over 74.2% of the land area.
There are about twenty indigenous tree species growing in Finland, the most common ones being pine, spruce and birch ). Usually two or three tree species dominate a forest.
Naturally pure pine stands are found in rocky terrain, on top of arid eskers and on pine swamps. Natural spruce stands are found on richer soil. Birch is commonly found as an admixture, but it can occasionally form pure birch stands.
About half of the forest land area consists of mixed stands. Rarer species are found mostly as solitary trees. The south-western corner and the south coast of Finland are touched by a narrow zone growing oak, maple, ash and elm.
I look out the window and it looks so sunny, finally when I get to go out the clouds appear…
I participated in a challenge topic texture – these are some I shot

Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.

Live birds are purchased in the market and to be are released for cosmic merit. Thai people believe that emissions are released in live birds and fish. Releasing them you are considered for forgiveness. Or so we were told by the locals.
While visiting a small island in Koh Yao Noi we saw these men in the market buying “forgiveness” a new beginning…
I tried to do these still in the spirit of the season. I have not altered the tones in the photos…trying to be true to the challenge and find the real colors in the photos!
Wishing everyone Happy New Year 2013!
The sun was already going down and it was around 2 pm, in the first photos, and 4 pm in the last 4 photos.
It is winter here in Finland and we got 20-40 cm of snow last Friday – so I have to go with textures of winter.
Snow flakes can be so beautiful…beauty in detail
