Kävely keskustaan metsän teitse

I spent my afternoon in the woods, as the sun finally came out. After a week of darkness, it was quite exhilirating, and I was unable to keep a strange sort of grin off my face. Initially, I didn't plan on spending a few hours walking from my hut in the suburbs to the center of town, but it just happened, despite the heavy book bag of stuff.

It's hard to really know what to say about it all, but what really blew my mind was the smell of forest, and the fact that this was in the middle of the city. I didn't really have to leave the forest until I was a kilometer or two from downtown, and spent a good two hours in it. Naturally, there are some pictures of this event. They can all be found here, but here are some teasers:

I'm feeling a bit lazy so there are no links to the larger versions in the usual fashion. Check the set that I linked above. There may be some form of comments on what I saw.

Note: Incase I forget to say anything else, I'll be around Kolari next week (leaving Dec. 19th, returning perhaps the 26th), enjoying winter at it's finest and darkest. Perhaps there will be skiing and other various winter festivities, but no one is really quite sure. I'm going with some friends from the Netherlands, and I will have my phone with me of course. I'd say something more about what's going on, but we're not really sure. It's looking like it may even be an adventure just getting from Kolari to our cabin, which is actually in Kurtakko. More news as things develop.
