Finland: A walk in the land of Ice



When the ice crunches under my feet, every step sounds like music to my ear.

Finland: A day in the heart of winter



"When winter first begins to bite


and stones crack in the frosty night,


when pools are black and trees are bare,


'tis evil in the Wild to fare."

Finland: Christmas in Finland


"Joulu kuulostaa kulkuselta.

Joulu tuntuu pumpulilta.

Joulu maistuu piparilta

tai namuselta

tai mantelilta."
