Splendid Haukipudas

I love my home town Haukipudas. Since we moved here eight years ago this feeling has deepened daily. It is a charming place of eight seasons with different sensations each. The river Kiiminkijoki, the coast of Gulf of Bothnia, the vast forests, the plains, modest hills and her population of 18000 inhabitants have conquered my heart and my imagination. KEEP IN TOUCH WITH HAUKIPUDAS AND MYSELF through my blog! I promise to give you some real experience of everyday life in Haukipudas.

WELCOME WINTER

Pics 1-2





On a beautiful winter day, while skiing through a forest, I see lots of snow covered trees on both sides of the trail. The clear sky makes me enjoying the rich colours and tints of the trees and the sky (pic 1). Suddenly there is a loud noise nearing me. I see a snowmobile coming towards me. A father with a little child in front of him are driving it (pic 2). I wonder if they see the surrounding fantastic nature.

Continuing my skiing ahead, I notice tall pine trunks and between them a sweet little spruce - with much snow beautifully on its branches. The scene is stunning (pic 3).

On the right hand side there's a group of tiny pines almost covered up with snow. Again I get a shivering feeling of amazement. This group earns my full artistic respect (pic 4).

Well, everywhere around me I see a continously changing rhytmical play of pine trunks having snow patches on them (pic 5). The beauty of the season's forest has again conquered my heart. I promise to return here whenever it is possible.
