Ice Swimmer has more rocks to show us and they are full of colour and pattern. Let’s go….

Many of the broad-leaved trees were exhibiting their deciduousness while, the pines show their evergreenness all through the seasons.

The pattern is like figured woodgrain.

Humans are not welcome on the other side. Gulls and geese will keep watch in spring and summer. The dinosaurs were absent in October, but no human was seen trespassing.
In the next installment, we will have walked the path towards east (to the left of the last picture) and we’ll see something completely different.
Oh those rocks, they’re beautiful.
Funny, how I’ve grown to take the local rock surfaces for granted -- I once mentally noted from one of Giliell’s photos that rocks actually look different in different areas, and of course some areas have no exposed bedrock at all.

One of the things I like about Affinity is that the posts make me see things I hadn’t noticed :-)
And yes fine rocks.
This is such a beautiful island. Should I ever visit finland, this is definetly on my list of places to see.

It’s beauty of the aeons. 2 milliard (billion in American) years of age, an ice age about ten millennia ago and waves and ice for a few centuries. Our lives are a blip.

Here it’s so easy to get used to the rounded gray or reddish brown rocks. Even the Reposaari rocks with the nice red sandstone or the more red granite of Åland is fairly similar to the regular rocks around here. I think my first exposure to the other kinds of rocks (bedrock) may have been the Jesus films we watched in religion* lessons in primary school, but I didn’t really think much about that, it was just some desert for me.

If you visit Helsinki between May and October, it is fairly easy to get there.

Oh, but I’m really enjoying this series. These rocks are so unlike those I’m familiar with and I think I’m in love with them.
