I spent a week of my Christmas holidays with my friend's family in Finland. Last Wednesday Nadezhda and Toivo, her husband, drove me to a lovely place not far from the village where they live. We left the car and had a short walk along the river.
The day was sunny, but in the north it becomes dark early. You will also see fog lying in some places on the river water. This winter has been snowy in our countries - Finland and Estonia, it makes landscapes very beautiful, especially in forested areas.
Toivo told me that there was a big woodworking and pulp and paper factory here, and they used this river for timber rafting and transportation of their products. The factory was closed some years ago. Many people lost jobs in the result...
The area near the river is equiped for people to walk and have some rest when they are tired or just want to enjoy the beautiful view.
There is also a place equipped for washing and drying carpets. It is typical for Finland, I cound see them in many other places, even in towns near rivers or lakes. Very convenient, isn't it?
Nadezhda took some pictures of me.
Here you can see Nadezhda, Toivo and their doggy Marusja.
There are small hills everywhere around, or they are most likely huge stones which time covered with soil and then trees settled on them.

The New 2023 Year is coming soon. Let me wish you, my dear friends, Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

And again - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!
Мой привет тебе и, конечно, пожелание Вечелого Рождества и Счастливого Нового Года.
Что могу сказать. Классная прогулка получилась! Солнечный день, река и снег - это замечательное сочетание.
Но название реки не увидел. :) Но хорошо, что имееется сервис pinmapple! А ведь я был почти в этом месте! Во всяком случае, в 2017 году, я проезжал по этой дороге.
Мда. Это было уже более 5 лет назад. И казалось, чот впереди всё будет прям замечательно и я с дочками еще побываю не один раз в Финляндии. А еще меня тогда приглашал товарищ посетить Ригу.
Эх....
Спасибо на добром слове! Прогулка была чудесной, это правда. А вот с местом на карте я промахнулась, как - сама не знаю. Заметила сейчас, когда стала название реки смотреть, а исправить уже, похоже, не получится. На самом деле река Kymijoki, недалеко от поселка Myllykoski, а меня северней занесло 😁.
Что будет всё замечательно - давайте дружно верить. Хочу пожелать Вам и Вашей семье, чтобы мечты сбывались и задуманные путешествия осуществлялись ❤️! С наступающим 🎄!
Да, и в Reflections contest - добро пожаловать! У вас чудесные фото, только помните, что одних и тех же два конкурса подряд обычно не награждаем, часто с огромным сожалением.
только сейчас фото готовил для конкурса. Из Дагестана.
Если успею сегодня вечером написать пост, то было бы класс. Работа затюкала и суета предпраздничная.
Yli-Kaitalan Lomamökit. Iitti. Finland - я был здесь
Конкурс на каникулах, начнем снова 1 января, так что спешки нет. Праздновать нам ничто не должно мешать 😁🎄🎁⛄
👍😁
What a beautiful winter there :) Awesome shots dear @olgavita and I love the last two pics with the sunset :)
Thank you dear @trangbaby for your friendly words 🤗. Imagine, that was about midday time but looked like evening sunset! Here in the north we have very low sun in the winter.
I wish you and your family a happy coming New 2023 Year 🎄 !
What a beautiful walk, a real winter fairy tale,....the photos are really stunning 👍
Thank you @miljo76 for stopping by ❤️! I wish you a happy and prosperous coming new year 🎄!
Thank you @olgavita, the same to you and all your loved ones 💚!
Beautiful winter photos. Do the river has the chance of getting frozen?
Thank you @shula14 for your nice words ❤️! I must ask my friends more about the river but I can guess that it must get frozen at lower temperature. It runs not fast.
I wish you a happy and prosperous coming new year 🎄!
How beautiful it is there.. And a lot of snow, I believe you enjoyed it..💕
I really miss the snow this holiday season..I love walking in the snow. And you had a wonderful day for a walk...🥰
