Wintering Harbor

starting at €90.00

A winter storm sweeps across the island. The low rocky ridge offers little protection to the harbor bay. There are hardly any visitors there. The bay is frozen solid, and transport links to the mainland are limited to a ferry that stops at the ice field in front of the village. On this photo trip, we stepped off the boat onto the pitch-black ice. A headlamp lit up the approximately one-kilometer walk to the shore. A big surprise was revealed at dawn when we saw the open, rolling sea from the cabin window! The night wind had broken up the entire ice field and pushed the ice out of sight.

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.
