The Finnish Summer



This place is really beautiful in the summer. At least this summer it is. Last summer was unusually cold and wet, but this year it has been sunny and mild. I think it got up to around 85 one day a few weeks ago.

Rather than write a thousand words for each picture here, I think I'll let them speak for themselves. The yellow fields are rapeseed (Brassica rapa) and the lake you see is called Tuomiojarvi, or "lake of judgement". I don't think any of us are strangers to that!
