To be completely honest I've had quite a lot of difficulty adjusting to the finnish climate. Yet I still refuse to be restricted by the weather, and I went to the beach. Beach days in Finland are very different from the stereotypical picture you might see in your head, even in mid summer when the weather is supposed to be the hottest of the year. Here are pictures from my favorite beach in the world, in the southernmost summer city of Finland, Hanko. It's got a lovely Scandinavian vibe to it and it always inspires me a lot. I've also been practicing photography a bit so I hope you enjoy these shots!
