Day well spent out on our family's "summer isle"

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

I have spent my weekend in Taalintehdas, a small town almost as south as you can get in Finland. I was born and raised here, and here live about 1000 people, just to give you a better picture of how small a place it really is. But I'll tell you more about my hometown later.

Today I took a 10 minutes boat ride out to our very small isle were we have our summer cottage, I haven't been here in years so it felt very nostalgic and so relaxing coming out here. Back when I was younger I used to come here and stay for weeks with my family, it was the best! Inside the cottage isn't too much space so we always played outside, lots of fresh air and salty water, what is better than that!

But enough text, I'll let you enjoy the pictures I took!

I feel like a whole new person after spending the day out to sea like this, so refreshing!

Hopefully you could enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed my stay here.

lovely island, if i get rich on steemit im going to buy a tiny island like this. HAHA

Great plans you got there! Just believe and keep producing good content and you might one day have a tiny island like this :)

easy to believe, harder to produce good content constantly :)

I guess you are right, but you will never succeed if you never try :)

very nice

The photos are wonderful, you must have had the best summers here. What a great place to enjoy your youth.

Absolutely! It was a blast, and you could jump in the water for a swim any time you want. :)
