A couple weeks back I went to pick my sister up from western Finland and since it's a long drive, we planned on making a few stops along the way. Her suggestion was this magical place in Jämijärvi, called Uhrilähde.
The bottom of spring is in constant motion: through the holes in soils sand layers, part of the crystal clear groundwater gushes out. Uhrilähde (offering or sacrifice spring) was a place, where people came to find healing for e.g. eye ailments. A sacrifice was made by throwing an offering into the depths of the bottomless spring.
You can bet your ass I brought an offering to the spring, and I'll never tell you what it was.
Neither if us had ever seen this place, or none like it, so it was pretty cool. It's basically in the middle of nowhere, but you can drive very close to the spring and there are steps leading to it. It's a tourist place and with covid19, there were quite a few groups visiting while we were there. Finnish people have finally found out we have some really fucking awesome places in our own country, you don't have to go to Thailand to find cool stuff. The mosquitos are very happy about it.
I think my photography was not great this day but I dis finally figure out how the polarising filter is useful. I had never tried it before to try and take out reflections, I had only used it for scenery and it really didn't do anything. Now that I tried it here,I understood it can be very useful. Though I could only get a part of the frame reflection free, it did make a huge difference. I wish both my lenses for the Aps-c Nikon were the same diameter so I could use the same filters, cause now I only had the polarising one for the wide lens.
