Final farewell to this summer !
Posted by Leena (Joensuu, Finland) on 20 October 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
I was sitting in a boat and photographing "our hill" for farewell of this summer. Our summer cottage is somewhere there on a shore between a lake and a hill and I love this place!
I hope, this is blue enough in many ways for "Blue Monday", which is hosted by Sally HERE
Thank you very much for your visits and comments !

@jamesy: This place is working for gathering of energy even for our grandchildren. They have been here
since they were babies in other words they have used to being here.
Thank you for commenting, Deb!

Lovely scenery.I like the 'blueness' of this. You can almost smell and taste the fresh air.

Oh, yes --- your blue is bluer than blue, also. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I live in Colorado; but the blue pictures were taken in Maine on a vacation last summer. Thanks for sharing your part of Finland. I would love to visit someday!!! Sally

Hello Leena, This is the best kind of blue. Just gorgeous. Your shot with the reflections on the glassy water is superb. Enjoy and greetings from the West Coast of the U.S.A.

Thank you so much for visiting my lake!
Your comment are highly appreciated! I came just home from the lake and I think,
we will go still after few days, it is difficult to leave the lake and the whole place. But fortunately it takes only ½ hour to get there :)

You do have a pretty island, a pretty country and takes great pictures to show it off.
Thank you for the nice comment. Concerning the question of Hurtigruten, I would suggest going all the way to Bodø, since the archipelago of Lofoten is one of the most beautiful areas in all of Norway. You might even stop there and stay there for some days before you go home. Recommended.

What a stunning shot and a gorgeous location. I love water and mountains and could be quite content in a small cabin nestled in the trees with a view of the lake. Lucky, lucky you!

Hei Leena
What a lovely picture this is. The sky and the water are so nice and blue. I am of Finnish background ja puhun ja kirjoita Suomea. Aiti kavi Suomessa kesalla. She had a lovely time.
I'll be back to look around more.
Please stop by and visit. I have a giveaway which I've posted on last Friday.
Good luck!
Terveisia
