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

Water lilly #1

I visited a beautiful  lake in Mustio in Southern Finland, and it has this lake with a water lilies. I took about hundreds photos of them. I will be sharing many but not all of them.waterlillies-12

Winters art

The nature has some beautiful details for us, if we keep out ice open. I really like how the light comes through the icicles.

Foggy Friday

I was driving in the countryside and once again stopped at this lake in Vols as I’ve done many times before, it looked different as the fog was there to do its magic. This Foggy Friday looks good in pictures.

Tree by the sea

This is an old photo of weather I wish we were having now, instead od the wind and rain. I am rather proud of this capture. I found it whilst looking for something to post. i
It is a birch tree next to the frozen sea. I like the light in this photo.

Afternoon by the lake

afternoon, the sun was setting and the cold nippy weather was felt on my fingers as I stopped to take photos by the lake of boats that were turned down for winter.

First snow

I have to believe that winter is here, even thought this snow melted quickly, but it is a sign that one cannot ignore.

Searching for sunlight

Yesterday we saw also other colors than blue, grey and white in various tones. A small orange light around midday was to give hope of  better. These still mostly are the blue grey tones, also very beautiful, absolutely, but at this point in the winter a sunny day would be just awesome. Al photos can be enlarged by a click.
