The Svartå Manor, also known as Svartå Castle (finnish: Mustion Linna) is built during 1783-1792. The old manor itself is nowadays a museum and the surrounding property has several smaller estates, including a restaurant, hotel, summer theater and of course, a sauna. I took this picture on my way form the city of Åbo to Helsinki. I made a small detour though, as I wanted to visit this location. When I saw this old gate, it was time to bring out the camera.

Vanity, statue by Antonio Bottinelli (1870) in the Mustio Manor park. Being photographed from the lake towards the trees and water plant giving some privacy for the statue, it creates a great contrast of classical art and the untamed nature.

This picture was a result of an strive to the hilltop of Piikkiö, the countryside of Turku, Finland. The mosquitos really tested me during this photo shoot, but what can you do when you’re having that spot, right? My stepmom and I had a hike, and I just loved this view her checking the scenery. By the way, the forest industry is a major contributor to wellbeing in Finland. Let’s keep it that way in the future also.

We hiked to the Nuuksio national park here in Finland and while walking through the forest, I stumbled upon this beautiful scene. The water is very calm and you can see the autumn changing colours of trees. Also there are a lot of pine trees :)

This is the oldest ski slope in Finland! Located in a small town called Kauniainen it was oppened in the 30s. It´s also the 2nd slope in the country that was equipped with a ski lift. Nowadays it´s kind of like the best kept secret in this town, since not that many people from surrounding areas know about it. But there are a lot of local kids practicing there.

One fine day, on a walk to the nearby beach with my wife, I captured this picture. The colours in the sky were absolutely fabulous and the water was calm too.

Seurasaari in Helsinki shows the best side of all seasons. This shot is taken in early October during some heavy rain. Autumn in Finland is a beautiful display.

This shot was taken in the medieval Turku Castle, Finland. A group of Chinese tourists suddenly stormed the entrance as I were taking a couple of shots of the courtyard. Interesting though, this made the shot much better, as they appear to be very ghost-like, thanks to a long exposure. The visitors now became the Castle Ghosts in my photo.

During a rainy autumn-sunday in Helsinki, I saw this little guy during my walk in Seurasaari. Fearless as this little creature was, it let me pretty close with my camera.

One day it’s sunny in Helsinki, feels like Spring has finally set in. In the next day there’s a thick fog covering the archipelago, reducing visibility to a few meters and making it feel like winter is back. What you learn in Finland is that there’s no such thing as a perfect weather for being outside, you just go.

This shot is taken by the southern Helsinki dockyards. The decayed ramp makes a nice contrast to the new and clean Clarion hotel in the background. A bracketed longexposure shot to bring out the cool light.
