The holidays equal poor weight management. This time my family and I walked to another supermarket a couple of kilometres from our home. This is my favourite route. Some photo opportunities were missed because of the lack of light by I hope the ones I took (and the one video I shot) are of interest to my followers.
You can see Lake Alasenjärvi in the distance.

The man whose disfigured face you're looking at is Simo Häyhä who served as a sniper in the Winter War 1939-1940 with 259 confirmed kills in about 100 days with an average of 6-8 hours of daylight. He got hit in the chin almost at the end.
