Description
This pine tree at national park of Torronsuo is one of most beautiful trees that I've ever photographed. It have also have some effort to my photographing. Years and years ago they did choose one photo from it to stamp, which back then were big thing. Well, in everyone else's thoughts. For me it was just ordinary sale with small amount of money, but afterwards even I have been appreciate it more. My self confidence - what comes to photos - it's so damned low, like they never would be good enough and even then when I rarely get that "this might be quite good or at least not pure shit" there is always that hammer hitting my head yelling how "YOU JUST LOVE YOUR PHOTOS TOO MUCH, YOU DON'T SEE THEM RIGHT"! But I suppose that things like that stamp did give me small amount of "maybe I can catch somekind of photos sometimes" feeling.

Anyway, finally we did get snowstorm. Weather wasn't so cold, just -1 Celsius, but I can tell you that with 12-20 m/s wind, especially when entering open marsh were pretty damned cold. Especially cause I did stay probably one hour at almost this same spot trying to catch snow that wind were blowing. Snowing itself could have been bit more dense, now it doesn't show so well, but can be seen anyway.

This was also my first return to Torronsuo national park after longest break (1,5 years) since 2004. Thanks to Covid, that place have become way too over-populated. When I go to nature, I wanna be alone, enjoy peace and try to found photos, not be social. But I was right: this weather were too much for most people that love that place today - I was only one.
