We got back to Helsinki about 7 o’clock this morning after managing to sleep for at least six hours.
The change feels very dramatic: not just the temperature but also the colour palette. I wander into the woods to photograph the frozen snow.
It has not snowed for some time but neither has the snow melted. The opposite has happened. It has melted just enough to freeze again in the nights.
Apparently Helsinki hospitals have seen more people with broken limbs than usual. I walk gingerly back to the house, determined not to join them.
