A nighttime view of the Jätkänkynttilä (Lumberjack’s Candle) bridge in Rovaniemi, Finland. The cable-stayed bridge is brightly lit, with its reflection shimmering on the dark river water. The riverbanks are covered in deep snow, and the sky is a dark, hazy orange-grey.
A wooden observation deck or hut shaped like a traditional teepee, heavily blanketed in thick snow. It sits at the top of a ski slope under a grey, overcast sky. A ski lift cable passes directly in front of it, and a snow-covered staircase leads up to the entrance.
A wide, high-angle panoramic view looking out from a snowy mountain over a vast winter landscape. A frozen river or lake winds through a dense forest of snow-covered evergreens. In the distance, a small town is nestled among the trees under a heavy, cloudy sky.
A ski lift boarding area on a snowy mountain. A person in a bright red jacket stands near a small wooden operator's hut. Pine trees heavily weighed down by "tykky" (hard frozen snow) surround the lift machinery. The ground is marked with ski tracks under a flat, wintry light.
#OnThisDay 10 years ago, I had the opportunity to extend my work trip #Rovaniemi by turning it into a long weekend.
