Winter contrast in my home town of Juankoski
Juankoski is a quiet little town deep in Finland’s heart. Last month the nearest city Kuopio saw 16,6 hours of daylight (and 703,4 hours of darkness or cloudy weather). Today we had a whole day of sun, meaning 4 hours of bright light. I grabbed my camera and headed out for a photography stroll. I …
