Pullasorsa

Wordless Wednesday

Agorafobic

This is a market place of my beloved hometown Lahti, Finland. Not alot action in a ordinary weekday morning. Couple dozen - or so - peoples in those outdoor cafe´s on the right. But that´s about it really. 

Judging the photo it´s huge. It´s due me using 16mm (on a full frame). It enormously exaggerates the depth perspective. I mean; look at one of those stones on foreground, one of them could easily cover that church tower in the horizon. Which is 40m (131ft) tall. So there you have it.

My Initials

 And my brand new rubber boot. Didn´t paint those myself, there´s some digging going on there. So this is their markings. They´re my real life initials too not just my net-nick. My real nick name is Pisi, been called that since -83. All my old friend and 100+ drinking buddies calls me that. And so does my brother and mother. Prkl I added later, it´s short version of word Perkele. Which basicly means the devil. But it´s very usable word bit like the f-word. Suits fine with my bit roughf image.

I bought rubber boots for all these watery days of Autumn. Mostly to be used in forrests I visit at times. Don´t wanna get my feet wet. I guess one can use these in city enviroment too. Atleast they´re properly colored for Autumn.

Swamp Route

Friday was phenomenaly warm Autumn day. Almost the highest in recorded history. 22 degree Celcius (71.6F) it was. And all blue sky. That would be a great Summer day too, it was that warm. Me and my mom went for a hike in the woods. Wellcome to Lahti Healt Forrest.

It was new route to me. There´s all these marking along the way. That orange tree/man sign we was following. There´s hundreds of small walk paths and there´s marking at every path crossing so you wouldn´t go the wrong way. 

There´s warnings of slippery and for mountain bikers. At one place it said it´s a demanding path. And oh boy that was just that. Last ice age formed these ridges. Thre´s hills every where you go. At these scenes are world class skiing routes. It really was demanding. Almost 45 degree uphills at places. 

There´s all these small treasures to find in there. I thought this was a mushsroom growing on a tree stump. I got little closer and what? This is really nice find. Tee or coffee anyone?

More watery places there was these nice duckboards for easier access.

We had coffee in thermos and some sandwiches which we had at this small swamp pond. There´s wooden benches to sit and enjoy the Mother Nature. In several places.

The route was supposed to be 3.4km (2.11 miles). We missed some path marking and ended up walking douple that. My mom is notorious to get lost in forrest, this was not the first time. We was beat and barely made it back where we strated. With help from my mobile. I have not much good to say about  mobiles but this time it was really handy.

 

Been there, done that. There´s more than 100 of these small paths in this area. We shall return the area. Next time I´m navigating.  My legs are killing me yet still. Very sore indeed. It was a very hard for me but am pleased we did it. I literaly hugged a tree first time in my life. It felt bit weird and very nice at the same time. 

Autumnal Equinox

 Today day and night is equally long globaly. My Southern Hemisphere blog friends are going towards  Summer starting tomorrow. Us Northern folks the darkness is coming. Night will prevail so to speak. Day is turning into a night, last light of the day. Good Night to all my viewers!!!

Alkaneen syksyn kunniaksi

 Saturday Classic tällä viikolla. Poets of the Fall - Lift 

Reflection of Life

 Few dead leafs on the ground. Red-ish colors on female hairs. Seems to be this season´s trend. The girl nearest to camera has some motion blur on her left leg. Plain blue skies reflecting from bus windows.                  Skywatch Friday & Weekend Street/Refalections

Really?

 Ok. It´s 12th of September. Sun is shining and it´s 22C (71.6F) in shadow. First few leafs are turning to yellow. And X-mas Candies are for sale. This must be World Record, right? Any thoughts on this?

In the background grills and firewood is low on inventory. But who wants them this time of year? Nobody that´s who. But it´s "bit" too early for X-mas shit imho.     My corner of the World
