Turku, Finland - 23rd January 2015

By: jinxed


Hello!

Winter in southern Finland can be very changeable, like this winter has been so far. Temperature bounces around 0°C, on one day it snows and the next it rains.

Last night it snowed again and it's a bit below 0°C, so ZeeZee and I decided to go for a walk to a forest.

We climbed a tree, just for fun...

... and followed a path over a fallen tree.

We had to walk quite carefully, because there was only a thin layer of snow and a lot of ice underneath. It was very slippery.

There were blueberry twigs growing almost everywhere. These were on top of a huge stone.

We climbed a tree again.

A huge branch had fallen from an old oak. It kinda looks like a dragon or something. Maybe we're dragon riders now.

We found some big and beautiful icicles.

Then we found an old house - or what's left of it, not much more than the foundation. I wonder who lived here and what happened to the house before nature has taken over.

Looks like there's still water in the well, frozen and covered by snow.

This brook was frozen, too.

I liked this old stump of a tree.

Another frozen brook.
