I’ve always loved this picture. Makes me laugh. Thinking about jumping into the lake during a forest fire and trying to take a self-portrait. All after my ACL knee surgery. It wasn’t the best idea to take a self-portrait in the water with a recovering knee. Nevertheless, the results are stunning.

We love this long exposure of a winter night in Finland by @anthophotographie. This time of year often reminds us of Finland. It’s a place we love to visit during the season of long nights to experience the skillfulness in which they use warm light to create spaces for coming together and reflecting and celebrating with the people who you just shared another year of life.
