The weather today was amazing, so that after church I packed my bag and went out on a short hike. I brought my camera, and of course my most loyal companion, the BK9.
Here's me trying to convince my wife that it's a good idea to join me on a 3 hour walk up the river on a Sunday afternoon. I was sadly unsuccessful.
This is the path from my house to the mountain and the valley southwards. I used a saw and the bk9 to chop and saw a way through where the shrubbery is dense.
Here's the view from the hill, you can see the little village I live in, and one of the churches where I work. My house is covered by the forest next to the church.
From the same position, just pointed southwards. I decided to have lunch by the riverside. I never been there when there's no snow.
The path down to the river was quite demanding. And the river side was overgrown of birch and shrubbery
I found an old and abandoned water power station. I decided to light a fire and have lunch there.
Here's the pipeline that goes down from a lake up in the mountain side, down to the station.
Despite of the bright sun, the temperature was around 3 degrees Celsius, I think that's equivalent of 37 Fahrenheit, so I needed a fire.
Finally, lunch time.
On the way home I saw some of our local wildlife
And when I got out of the forest, and into my village, I saw these guys sprinting around the fence of the cemetery. It's soon slaughtering season, so we wont be seeing reindeer before next spring.
And that was my short Sunday stroll!
