Lounaspaikassa oltiin tänään eksistentiaalisten totuuksien äärellä. #turtlesallthewaydown

I think I earned a bonus point by commuting on a bike today, because of the blizzard that started just as I was heading home.

A street in a city, pictured from bike path/pedestrian route, showing some snow and ice on the ground, also on the car lanes, with heavy snowfall and wind blowing the snow around. A street light illustrates this as snow is moving almost horizontally across the light.

A rare gem, a perfect winter day in Helsinki. Plenty of new snow, sunshine and -8°C.

Snowy forest, old pine trees shining in the sun shining from a low angle. Footpaths are criss-crossing in between the trees. The sky is clear and blue.

A narrow road lined by trees splits the snowy fields. The sun is shining, peeking just over the treeline in the distance.

New year, new snow!

Snowy landscape, a path going between a row of trees and a field. Trees have new snow on the branches and since the sky is overcast, everything looks like in a black and white picture.

Perfect weather for making ice lanterns, though. This one was almost frozen solid, I forgot it outside for too long...

A round block of ice with a candle inside - an ice lantern made by freezing water in a bucket.

I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to go skiing since it's -20°C, but my daughter insisted... It was on the verge of being a bit too cold, but we were rewarded with a wonderful display of aurorae when coming back.

Green stripes of aurorae borealis on a starry sky, over snowy trees, some lights from cabins visible behind the trees.

Just to piss off Elmo, the cardinals decided to wear their Google-robes. #notredame

Japanese toilets are so luxurious. You can even choose to lock your door in either French (or Quebecois?) or in English.

Door handle with two signs, one blue saying Un Lock and the other red saying Lock. Texts also in Japanese.

Out and about in Nuuksio national park.

Old forest with tall trees and green mossy ground.

Evening view over a small lake, rocky beach and a few trees. Sky is clear and getting slightly orange.

Up so early that even the paradise hasn't opened yet.

Empty shopping mall with an unlit sign that says "Paradise is where I am"

Mukava fillarilenkki Versaillesiin "takakautta", Clamartin, Bievresin jne kautta. Kivoja teitä ja kauniita maisemia, toki talvisia ja lehdettömiä vielä.
