Winter pics from around here

Post by Kumppari »

I already made a thread like this last weekend, but it got lost. More about that in this thread. So here I go again.

There has recently been some snowfall, so I decided to go for a spin to the local backroads and take some photos for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

Coming out of the forest, there is a set of some nice sweeping corners.

Nice looking clouds, almost looks like a distant mountain ridge.

Practice track for motocrossers. I almost made it around with tercel, but some of those bigger jumps have too steep approach angles.

Some shots from the lake. It was starting to get dark, so these are not so great.

Thats the town I live in.

Image
Nice looking apartments overlooking to the lake.

There was some heavy mist/fog during night, and it got stuck to the trees making them all fuzzy. As soon as the sun went up, they turned back to normal. Good timing?

Thats all, stay tuned for more in the near future :wink:

Very nice photos; thanks for sharing. It reminds me a lot of central and northern British Columbia (Canada). Similar latitude to Finland I guess.

I was fooling around on the ice (again) and this time had a "film crew" with me:

OK, pics 4-6 look like the snowy roads in Finland on my Colin McRae Rally 3 game for Playstation 2! I misplaced that game, miss it, and am currently looking for it.... If it turns up, maybe I can take some pics, lol ==> if they come out.... Finland looks beautiful, from your pics, and what I've seen myself, and I wouldn't mind going there to watch the car rallies there... Last three pics look cool, and I wonder or certainly hope you never fell through the ice.... As I could say auf Deutsch: Ich liebe deine Bilder!!!! ;) Fancy-ass shots!! Kumppari, you are a cool dude and if I were to go to Finland, I'd have to stop by your place and drive Tercs with you, maybe to a campground or hotel or some market, lol!!! Take care!!! 8) :lol: :) Pics 15-16: I don't know where in Finland those were taken, town-wise, etc... :?

All those poor little gears in there getting stress tested?

That's a problem with the T4WD...understeer and spinning tires on snow till you put it in 4WD...then definite oversteer under power...need to keep that in mind.
