Some sunlight in snowy Finland

in #photography7 years ago

This winter hasn't been as cold as it usually gets here in Finland, I blame global warming. Luckily we had some snow so it hasn't felt as dark and depressive as the winters usually get. Today as I was out for a walk the sun started shining which it hasn't done in a long time and I felt like taking some pictures to share with everyone here.

Bear in mind that the photos are taken from a phone camera, a Leica from an Huawei P10 and from an amateur photographer.

The peer is all snowed and iced in but I wouldn't really recommend trying to walk on the ice at times like these with the degrees barely being under 0.

Looks like the ice is already thawing on the sides.

A small park on my way home where we used to spend a lot of summer nights chilling with a friend a long time ago.

As you can see by the order of the photos the sunlight unfortunately didn't last all that long.

Just a normal winter day in the South of Finland.

Hope you liked the photos. :)

Finland is so beautiful , I remember you shared another picture when it snowed it’s gorgeous. Looks like you guys get a lot of snow . In nYC we get a lot of snow too but this year was not as much . Just really cold

The photos were great, nice to see regular posts, seems like you got the courage to go outside after all the gaming :)) I have seen too that this winter was much warmer than the previous ones, but I hope it is not global warming so much...

How is your smoking, have you suceeded to quit?

Yeah the smoking has gone fine so far, I still get urges now and then but the nicotine gum has helped a lot. Still trying to mix in some regular gum in between them to get rid of the nicotine crave too but the smoking habit seems to be over soon. :)

and yeah, haven't spent as much time gaming on the new PC as I'd like to, so much happening on the platform and outside of it lately but I always find some time to go out for a walk.

Thanks for asking!

I've been quit for 7 years now. Quit on April fools day ha! I vape. I use a istick pico from myvaporstore.com and buy my pre mixed liquids/flavors from the liquid barn.com at 3% nic content (you can vape it without nic at 0% eventually) Yeah it's still a habit but studies show to date no worse than coffee. Works for me as the patch, gum and other help aids did not. I was spending around $1500 a year on smoking when I quit(prices have gone up since then) and with this after initial mechanism purchase I spend 3 to 400 per year. Thought I'd chime in, hope I didn't intrude? Hope this may help if you begin to fall from the wagon. Thanks for the pics.

Great job! I just love it when people succeed quitting smoke and different behaviors that drag them down. I also find it a very good idea to combine chewing regular gum with the nicotine gum!

Hope to hear that you are improving your life soon!

@acidyo Shapeky images you churn out there. Thanks for that. The weather here doesnt turn out quite as that over here. But please i hear of nicotine gum for the first time! Please how does it work for smoking and i just want to know about it. I want first and, practical answer, before i zoom to google.

Thanks @acidyo....... Looking forward to your next post

They are very nice photos as well as the landscape, which I'm sure you see it normal but I think it's great and more than ever I've known snow but I would love it.

You do not have sun and in my case it is the opposite since in the Venezuelan plain it is very hot and the sun is out all the time warming up everything.

The worst thing is a winter that's half ass, grey and wet, then I also more appreciate white layers of snow that helps light up the dark. I wonder with the global warming developing the way it's does if we soon can grow wine in Scandinavia and use the swimming pool all year around hehe

This winter hasn't been as cold as it usually gets here in Finland, I blame global warming

I think this is a general problem @acidyo. Here in Nigeria ,we often experience hamarttan season from December to march and it comes with so much cold ,especially early in the mornings but this year has been hell. The heat can make one go mad. And the worst part is that the rain is coming earlier than usual this year which is very awkward . I think this is as a result of global warming and it's not funny at all.

Bro i'd love to visit your country.Heard so much.Actually i have never been to north Europe.
I am from Greece and as you might know we usually have an endless summer here.Tbh i have missed to see and feel snow.Can you see the northern lights from where you live?

Those are some really great and amazing pictures if the winter. The sky looks nostalgic and beautiful. Makes me feel like grab a coffee get under a blanket and watch a movie. Really awesome pics and thanks for sharing them.

Wow finland looking wonderful, There are so many beautiful places in the world that they like to see. Some photography which lends to the mind. Very good post.

It's nice white powder you have, and not that mushy grey mud I used to see in London =). Very peaceful!

Even with the fading sunlight these are awesome pix. The light adds a nice mood to them.
