in march, we did a trip to finland, mostly to lappland.
riding a train up to rovaniemi.
starting in helsinki, we took a train up to rovaniemi. then, we took a bus to vikajärvi, a small municipal around 30 km north-east of rovaniemi.
staying in vikajärvi.
we stayed in a cottage right next to lake vikajärvi:
we had a lot of very soft, powdery snow there. enjoy some pictures of the cottage and its surroundings:
a night in vikajärvi.
here are some night photos, shot from the cottage to the outside. during daylight time, we never saw any animal, except birds somewhere in the sky. during night, we didn’t saw any animal as well, but we heard treacherous crackle from the surrounding woods and saw tracks of smaller and larger animals in the morning. for these reasons, we never really left the cottage during night.
we also had a good view on the moon:
a short visit to rovaniemi.
after a long stay in the cottage, we spend a few days in rovaniemi. we visited the artikum. the historic train is situated next to the railway station, and the last strange photo is from the lamp in our hotel room.
comments.
Awesome.
And this is just some interior fractal someone made with too much time and matches? Looks cool!
this fractal actually has a name, “himmeli”, and happens to be a common finnish and swedish christmas decoration. but yes, it does looks cool :)
