Heather Season

starting at €90.00

As the grain ripens, flowering heather (Calluna vulgaris) grows in the sparse rocky forests, dry heaths, and sandy moors of my home shores. The scent of abundant growth is strong on calm August evenings, and its rich nectar feeds many insects, from butterflies to bees and heather moths. The modest heather of the shore may well be 25 or even 50 years old!

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.
