Finland is very picturesque - though it is easier to take photos in the summer than winter... They don't make gloves thick enough for photography :D You should visit when you have the chance.
Lahti is where @markkujantunen is and he takes a lot of photos from around that area.
Hahha :D I can imagine :) My friend's beard was freezing in winter :D I love snow very much and it doesn't snow where I live. I'm a little unlucky about this.
