Greetings from eastern Finland

Posted by Leena (Joensuu, Finland) on 12 November 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

I came home last night. The view was white and soft - it`s good to be at home like in the safe nest in the middle of snow :)

Thank you very much for your visits and comments !

Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States

Very beautiful, Leena, especially with the contrast of the dark sky and lovely green.

Taija from Turku, Finland

Onpas paljon tullut lunta, meillä on ihan paljas maa vielä. Kaunis kuva :)

@Taija: Turku taitaa kuulua niihin Suomen vähälumisimpiin kaupunkeihin Suomessa yleensäkin. Jospa tänä talvena saisitte osanne :) Kiitos käynnistäsi ja kommentoinnista, Taija!

Mirjam from Kiev, Ukraine

Totta puhuit lapset odottavat juuri tällaista talvea. Upea kuva ja lumi näyttää niin pehmeltä ja kuvan sävyt kuin sadusta.

@Mirjam: Kunpa saisitte yhden päivän lapsille ja kuivaa lunta, ei pelkkää loskaa! Eikä nyt ajatella liikennekaaosta, joka sinne tulisi :) Kiitos vierailustasi, Mirjam!

Kiwisa from North Shore, New Zealand

So beautiful, just like a christmas card.

...j'avoue ne pas aimer la neige mais je reconnais qu'elle a son charme!
Bonne journée lumineuse!

@thami: :) I understand, but snow gives many brilliant possibilities in our life. We live constantly with snow about 5-6 months every year and we love it at least first 4 months and then we are waiting it`s melting :). Happy, sunny day to you too, Thami!

Kiki from Ambert, France

At present time I have much less snow but in some time my region will look like yours :)) I like your photo !
Good day Leena

@Kiki: Thank you for your visit, Kiki! France and snow does not belong together in our minds, but mountains are different thing, I understand :)

Snow already! This is such a beautiful shot. I love the winter wonderland on the outside and the feeling of how cozy it must be on the inside. Bravo!

@Susan: But, Susan dear, it`s not yet cold at all, the temperature is near 0 degrees Celsius ( 32 F ), when it`s over -20 degrees C ( -4 F ), we start to say " Nice frost today" and walk faster without giving any notice to it :))

Camiller from Lisboa, Portugal

Leena,
it is exactly one year ago that I wrote an message about KOOP ARPONEN, on my site. So we know each other almost one year! What a beautiful picture, beautiful white snow! Here in Holland, it is only raining! Today I placed a message with a link to your site, my readers can admire the snow in Finland, in this way.


Greeting,

NANNE from FRIESLAND
