Saukkovaara in Kainuu – the deepest snow in Finland
click the pic
Kainuu in Central Eastern part of Finland has usually the deepest snow, and Saukkovaara where our family cottage is located has the deepest snow in Kainuu. For now there is more than one meter deep snow layer. I enjoyed skiing holiday with my family including granddaughters Venla, Sanni and Hertta.
The spruces look like candles, tall and thin. The branches do not hold much of snow, so they do not break easily.

It was cold yesterday. There was no wind. Every Finn knows how to ski cross country. I was lucky to have this skiing lady into my pics. She is skiing very beautifully, she really knows how to ski. Photos taken by a big lens (500 mm).

Has been cold for several days. Cold air sweeping over open sea has created lots of snow falls. However, there was a glimpse of sunlight, just the right amount for the pic.

I visited Suomelinna today in hope of a good sunset. One of those red boats was pushing there towards Harmaja lighthouse.
