The land of backwoods, a photo from Southern Finland, South

Photographer's Note

This is the last one in my series of photos from the 28th May hike in Nuuksio national park. It is shot from a rock over lake Suolikas, which still continues about 2 kilometres further north-west but is getting narrower and narrower. The name of the lake refers to its form of an intestine.
Although from this view one could think that the lake is totally deserted, 1 km further along the right side bank there are a few houses. The title however refers to the backwoods, which start behind the lake in the direction of the foreground pine. One can walk about 6 km into that direction without seeing any houses or cultivated areas, just rocks and marshes and a couple of small ponds.

More information about Nuuksio is here.

I like this POV too, really "in your style". I was going to ask you about people when I read in the note that there are some houses. But does anyone sail or canoe in this lake?
Ciao,
Donato

Hi Lasse,
wonderful light on this calm lake. As already mentioned it seems that you have a personal "handwriting" on your compositions that I like a lot.
TfS
Warm regards
