Wooden jetties, island ferries at dusk, and the long walk along the Baltic skerries.

Market Square at first light, ferries to Suomenlinna, and coffee poured strong.

Inari

The fells at sunrise. Snow the colour of silver, silence, and coffee under a wool blanket.

The coastal road, end to end

From Hanko to Oulu — the coastal road that follows the Baltic. Summer cottages, fish soup, and red wooden walls catching the wind.

A slow itinerary, by the E8, sleeping in cottages where the lake is the courtyard wall.
