The house sparrow was classified as a critically endangered species in Finland in 2019. I saw two house sparrows eating in our yard this morning, here is the other one, Mrs. Sparrow. 😊 #varpunen #housesparrow #passerdomesticus #birds #finnishbirds #nature #finnishnature #photography #birdphotography

The feeling you get at the top of a fell, when you have once again overcome yourself and your doubts, cannot be compared to anything. The wind is blowing at the top, your mind is calm and peaceful.

I spent last week in the northernmost municipality in Finland, Utsjoki. Spent days sitting on riverbank, wondering in the mountains, just relaxing and enjoying. Took a lot of photos, here's some of them (for the beginning).
