Explorer on the Frozen Sea
The great outdoors of Finland is a scene right out of National Geographic. Pristine, untouched sweeping panorama of frozen landscape in winter. This is a photo documentary of one dauntless explorer and his expedition on the frozen Baltic Sea.
A day in the life of a Finnish kid – reliving Happy Feet in the Polar Arctic.
The intrepid explorer takes a break.
Grown-ups don’t do this enough. Look at the world from a different perspective.
The great silence of desolate beauty. The only sounds – the deep crunch of brittle shards of ice under the feet.
This was our point of entry into the open sea. A glorious Sunday afternoon with the sun warm on our faces.
Back to our little trooper making his way home.
The sun sets on our part of the Baltic Sea. Time to head home to warmth, a hot dinner and a good sauna. Snippets of life from the Northern Hemisphere, over and out.
Beautiful pictures!! Great post. Have a great day. 🙂
Thank you Renee! It was a great adventure for us walking so far out on the frozen sea! You have a great day too!
Wow…such beauty….I would’ve done the things your son did out of sheer joy. 🙂
Martha – somehow I know you would!!!! 😀 HUGS.
Loved the pixs. Ahhhh the simple pleasures of life…. *dreams of her own cottage by the countryside*
Eileen…I too still dream of having my own cottage in the quiet countryside by a lake. Log cabin with a wooden sauna right by the water. Acres of wild blueberries…Aahh the simple pleasures of life… 😀 Thanks for taking time to drop by the blog dear girl! Hugs.
we think alike Sharon
Such beautiful pictures. I love the white colour background. How does it feel when walking above the frozen sea?
Hi Ni! It feels like walking on a thousand little crystals which crush beneath the feet in a very satisfying sound 😀 Some parts can be slippery like an ice-skating rink. As the weather gets warmer, it can sometimes be rather scary to walk on the thawing sea because then it starts to creak with each step and you hope you don’t plunge into an ice-hole! But they usually put up warning signs when it’s no longer safe to go out there for a walk.
Beautiful photos my dear friend………..
OMG…Such a beautiful scenery! Your son didn’t seem to be cold at all. He’s so cute.
Incredible photos!
Wonderful photos.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! It means so much coming from you! Sharon
You’re just north of where I come from (Latvia)… lovely photos! and love seeing the great fun on the ice.
