Valkmusa 17.10.2024
Woke up at six and originally headed to Stömfors in Pyhtää for some sunrise photography, blissfully unaware of a setting supermoon, which had I left an hour earlier would have resulted in some pretty nice pictures. However as I was looking at said setting moon from behind the wheel of my car, I came to the realization that I was going to be late. Not only was I late for the moon I was also about a week late for peak fall colors, I walked around for a while, then came to the conclusion that all I was going to achieve from this location were some pretty “meh” photos.
At this time the sun had already risen above the horizon and as there was no noticeable color in the sky I abandoned the idea of a photoshoot and decided to head for a little walk in Valkmusa National Park, on the border of Pyhtää and Kotka.
However after a short drive I started to see some morning haze glimmering in the forest, and got a bit exited about a possibility of a hazy bog. As I pulled up to the parking lot I was again exited to head for my walk on the bog with my camera.
After a short hike it became quite clear that my excitement was not in vain. These are the pictures I captured on that morning, as a bonus there’s also a picture of previously mentioned super moon from the following evening.
