I too feel very distant and alone out here on the edge of all things, though I have to wonder if that might not be preferable to the insanity that seems to be overtaking the Finnish forests.
Nah, I'd rather be insane...
I might be, too, since looking at those pictures my first thought was "looks a lot like a family reunion".
Not that you all look alike, but there's definitely a visibly tangible community feeling there that borders on familial.
Maybe one of these years I'll make it out to the "family reunion".
