It's getting colder and snowier in Helsinki, finally. Today the sun peeked through the clouds in the morning so I decided to check what the golf course and manor in Tali (a neighborhood in Helsinki) looked like. Quite pretty, actually. Beautiful light and a little bit of snow on the ground.

Then it started snowing properly. Yes! Even better, the temperature should remain below freezing for a while.

December 20th, a warm and mostly overcast Saturday in Helsinki.

Dogs, a mysterious pumpkin, and a creature you should not see this time of year. I saw and heard quite a few birds as well, such as a sparrowhawk, two goshawks, a black woodpecker, robins, and a wren. I only managed to get poor photos of the sparrowhawk, not much else. My slow telephoto lens struggles with the lack of light.

Oh, I found the pumpkin next to a creek. What witchcraft.... Perhaps an offering to Ahti, a water god in the Finnish mythology, in return for fish. I've seen people fishing near that spot.

A late night photo walk yesterday. Mist, a light sprinkling of snow, a few hares, not a lot of people...

I went for a customary Wednesday evening run and then realized I should have gone for a photo walk instead as the weather was a bit unusual: mist and snow at the same time. I got back home at around 9 pm, changed clothes and grabbed my camera.

I ended up walking for a couple of hours in Tali and Munkkivuori until my fingers were frozen enough to call it quits. I am not particularly happy with any of the photos – mostly of empty streets as I saw only a few other people. There were brown hares though...

"What? Is that the sun? Here? In November? It is actually peeking through the clouds, maybe for about 30 seconds. Find some kind of composition now! Hmm, that dead plant will have to do."

I mustered enough energy to go for a photo walk through the Pitäjänmäki and Tali neighborhoods in Helsinki yesterday. The city is not pretty in November so I took a few "ugly" photos of dilapidated buildings and empty streets on purpose. It's November after all – our "death month". Then I tried to look for small details in the environment. I found some snowberries and mushrooms near the Mätäjoki brook. I started following it downstream towards the sea and remembered a tree which was home to tawny owls in March. I hadn't been there since. Maybe one of them was still there... Well, the day did not feel so gloomy after seeing a familiar face :)
