The Scent of Summer

starting at €90.00

I love the sea and the rugged rocks of the unique Finnish archipelago, the winter ice and horizontal snowstorms, the breaking of the ice, and the flocks of birds in spring, the darkness of autumn evenings, storms, and waves. Early summer is filled with the hustle and bustle of birds and the intoxicating soundscape, but by midsummer the commotion calms down and the serene nights are marked by silence. The warmth of the sun lingers in the in the scent of the rocks and the wild chive’s onion fragrance. The fleeting summer lives on only in memories.

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.
