Cross Country Skiing on a Christmas Day

December 2010

Went skiing on a frozen lake in western Finland on a Christmas Day. Did two rounds around the lake, altogether 24 km. A blue dim day with about -15C temperature. The lake was frozen about a feet thickness, carrying the weight of a car. The ski track was made by a snow mobile previous day. Saw only a couple of other skiiers and a snow mobile on a fast track.

A birch tree bent over the frozen lake


A deer recently killed by a wolf


A frozen scenery


Small tracks on the snow between the rushes and the ground, mice perhaps?


The track went through every small bay on a lake
