Yesterday after work I drove to East #finland with a rental car. (That was the first time I drove this year.) There was a car accident on the road, and a traffic jam. We got heavy rain.. I got lost once. Once the navigator said the road was blocked but it wasn't. But I did it and #today I saw my #parents. 😍 #AlzheimersSucks I haven't told you but my mother has #dementia now as well. #suomimastodon#roadtrip
@KissAnne joo, enhän mä ymmärtäny jotta ethän sinä sitä voi tietää.. Anteeksi, mun ei oo oikeen hyvä kiriotella kun en mä tajua, ja saatan loukata tahattomasti toisia. Mun pitääs lopettaa ku ei tämä enää onnistu
Here in #Finland, the last 24 hours have been geopolitically unusual.
Reports from #Russia suggested a unilateral desire to modify their maritime borders in the Gulf of Finland and near #Kaliningrad. The Finnish government learned about this through the media.
Patria contemplating resuming production of the 155GH52 towed howitzer. Compared to the American M777, it is a significantly longer caliber (= longer range) and equipped with an auxiliary power unit enabling it to be moved on the field without a tow vehicle. Current users: Finland and Egypt (latter without the APU). https://defence-blog.com/patria-ready-to-restart-155mm-artillery-production/ #patria#artillery#finland#nato
The wolves were rarely seen at the moment. During the week in Finland, we were lucky one morning and were able to observe 3 animals at dusk.

In Finland I was able to observe and photograph bears in the wild for the first time. It was a special sight, especially in the snow.

It's not the first 20 degree change in a week we've had this year - we've even had 20 degrees over a weekend. But I think it's more variable than normal.
When photographing the other animals, the ravens were usually in the way and disturbed the composition of the picture. But sometimes it was also a nice change to put the supposed supporting actors in the spotlight.
