Soon it Will Go

After a proper winter, the ice in the Baltic Sea is often at its thickest in March. It breaks up slowly and painfully. Spring low-pressure systems lift the ice cover away from the shores, and meltwater and rainwater accumulate on the ice. Eventually, the ice darkens, cracks open, and the sea is freed from its winter shackles. The departure of the ice also frees the heart from the shackles of waiting for spring – at least for sea people and seabirds.

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.
