Kesän Floating Sauna, summer sauna, Oulu, Finland

Kesän Floating Sauna, summer sauna, Oulu, Finland - my hot top sisu experience

Kalajoki, Finland - Golden sand dunes and magic midnight sun

Kalajoki's golden sand dunes and magic midnight sun is really something to experience: strong yellow light and dark blue clouds (3rd July 2016). Strolled along the shoreline in the late evening and enjoyed the incredible change from daytime in the nature of the light. The sun took on a yellow colour - almost like during sunrise or sunset - and everything around me bathed in an unimaginably warm, bright light.

Moose,ellk,finland

Moose grazing in Finland

Came upon these bull moose grazing on a field of rapeseed in southwest Finland (July 2016) - kings of the forest. They usually shelter in dense forest during the daytime, feeding on forest plants. These mighty animals are easiest to spot when they occasionally venture out of the trees to graze on marshes, meadows and fields around dawn and dusk.
