I spend majority of the day on ice, as it might be one of maybe three days this whole winter when the conditions are this perfect and ice solid enough. I wasn't the only one out there, as you can see, and people were over the moon about this sunny winter wonderland Saturday.
I first went skating and then chucked the skates back home and switched to walking and stalking. I caught a few really fun and heartwarming moments with my camera, it's rare to see Finnish people this openly happy so I had to make sure to capture it. I hope you enjoy.

Hockey game, one of many on the lake.
This was hilarious! They were sliding the baby back and forth on the ice, and she was clearly enjoying it.
Dogs were well represented on the ice, but these beings were the most majestic of them all.
Sporty dog is sporty with the sporty human.
Dad and son sledding.
Last rays and last people.
Time to go home.
