Finland

Sorry, I don´t know. I need to ask somebody wiser than me. They are often called devil´s fields  

ah, well, that must surely be the explanation

[Panu]

This summer has been busy. Not that busy moment at the work last week.

Panu,
I love the morning scenery at the lake excellently caught in your picture.

The air is clear and fresh, the fog is skimming over the water surface, the gras is wet, the sun sends first warming rays. A campfire crackles in the background. Oneself stays quiet, just listening to the bird songs and other animals noises. Observing the water surface for any hunting pike or smacking carps. Soaking the pure nature, simply one of the best ways of relaxing.
I just miss the fishing rods and a cup of hot coffee

[Arykana]

I love your photos!

What a wonderful place Panu, the mirror reflection of the clouds in the sky in the lake is superb....was the campfire to cook your breakfast catch?

Dave,
thanks for your feedback - it seems we are soulmates
Are you fishing time by time?

[Panu]

Thank you Arykana and others. You summed it so nicely Armin, that I almost want to go back and wake up early when the sun rises. However, it was evening around 10 pm . I can realise the illusion of dawn, maybe I put the pics in wrong order But I did prepare my meal in the fire.

Few more pics.

1) Vellisuo again. Nice to watch, but hard to walk.

2) Ancient pit used for deer hunting, maybe thousand of years old.

3) Remember to buy some insect repellent if travelling to Finland. This year was awful, the pic doesn´t show the truth.

Northern Sweden was worse this year too. 
Funny how only 1 per 100 or 1000 mosquitos shows up in a photo

they were so fierce here 2 years ago, they would follow my camera hands and end up in photos--i took a shot of a calypso that had a mosquito perching on it...lol

Soulmates ---Yes i think so Armin and maybe a few others as well ......

Fishing season opens down here on the 1st of October --plant hunting starts in early December so it leaves a very small time frame available to me  -------decisions decisions .........   

Cheers Dave.
