I decided to get off the beaten track one day in July in order to find new cloudberry picking spots in the Northern Finland. Altogether, I walked some 30 kilometers on the trail during the day. A Finn who has found a good berry spot never reveals the location, so do not tempt me by asking the exact locations where the photographs were taken! I let the photographs speak for my behalf:
1) Logging roads like on the photograph are quite abundant in these parts of the country, although rarely visited by vehicles.
2) Female Western Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) protecting her nest behind her by making herself highly visible to the intruder.
3) Approaching a peak, about half way to the tree line.
4) The taiga.
5) Easy-to-maintain filling station near a cabin.
6) The must-to-have photograph of the firewood corner of the cabin. Fiskars dominates here.
