Interesting eider family of three with three chicks.
Makes one wonder if there’s some natural gayness or polyamory going on.

I spent Midsummer in the Archipelago Sea. Besides having a sauna, playing cards, watching birds and generally admiring nature, I had time to take some photos.

This is an American mink, a harmful invasive species in Finland. It preys on the eggs of many water birds, which haven’t naturally evolved defenses against such a predator in the Finnish archipelago. To control its population, mink hunting is actively encouraged.
I took this photo in the Turku archipelago a couple of years ago. The mink was playing on the ice, rolling in the snow, climbing on the rocks, and diving into a hole it had made in the ice. Despite being an invasive species, it’s undeniably an adorable animal.

Continuing to share favourite images from my 30+ year photographic career. Now moving on to Finland, another country that’s been important to me (10 visits, 4 editions of Thomas Cook guidebook, lots of great memories). This is from my first ‘professional’ visit and it’s my partner cycling the Turku Archipelago circuit.

Of course working in the Nordics is all about having a perfect work/leisure balance. So during the summers I spend it #sailing in the #TurkuArchipelago and the rest of the #balticsea . The archipelago is both amazing and magical, really the best part of living here
