Glowing Rock

starting at €90.00

During the Ice Age, the continental ice that covered Finland formed magnificent riches moutonnées or smooth rocks on its shores. The ice flowed toward the edge of the glacier, and the grooves carved by the rocks that traveled with it reveal where the ice came from and where it went. Smooth rocks are always found upstream. Lying on smooth rocks warmed by the sun and scented by the sea is one of the finest moments of summer. The warmth lingers in them long after the sun has set.

HOME SHORES – Pictures from the Finnish coast

Vanhin, ikuinen rakkauteni on meri, joka aaltoilee kotimaani rannoilla. Olen kuvannut sitä lapsesta saakka viettäessäni kesiä Iniön saaristossa. Kuvia on kertynyt useilta vuosikymmeniltä. Olen julkaissut siitä myös kaksi kirjaa: Kuohu – koukussa saaristoon ja Meri, joka jalkojani huuhtelee. Niitä voi tiedustella ottamalla yhteyttä. Tähän sarjaan olen koonnut muutamia mieleenpainuvimpia otoksia kotirannoilta vuosien varrelta.
