All kind of magical adventures take place in the Pyynikki forest. For me it’s the place where I can rest, explore, breath and enjoy. No day without a walk and happy feelings.
Close to the horizon
Photographer Catherine Opie once said „The biggest cliché in photography is sunrise and sunset.” For understandable reasons the sky at this day- or night-time is a fantastic photo subject. First of all no sunrise or sunset is identical and offers many differences. In some the sun appears as an orange dot rising or disappearing into the distant horizon, in other it is not visible at all. The colours of the sky can shift from light to dark as in a colourful painting and sometimes it even looks like that there are actually some brushstrokes in the sky.
When I was in Finland a few weeks ago I couldn’t resist taking pictures of the sunset at Lake Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi. For me it still has something magical when sky and water meet...
Näsijärvi
A cloudy summer day at Näsijärvi; a bit moody, but yet light-coloured and interesting to capture.
Garden of Love
Whenever I need a rest I like to go in our garden. There are so many variations every day to discover, because the vegetation is changing very fast. On one day the flowers are blooming, on the other day they are fading – it gets a touch of mortality, which is very interesting to document. Also the light is different every day and makes various compositions possible.
Moments in life
Autumn walk
Nothing is greater than to take a walk in the golden hour.
One for the forests
Sometimes I dream of living in the north. In a little wooden cabin lost somewhere in the tall forest of birch trees.
I’m very happy when I’m at least able to spend a few weeks a year in Finland. I can’t even put in words how much I love being there. It already has become my second home at heart.
