Moving in nature
"Life is right at your feet," whispered the tree. And there I stopped.
At Rastunsuo bird lake, you can spot even rarer bird species, and Etelä-Konnevesi National Park is just a short distance from Kerkonkoski.

It is dusk and the saunas are steaming, only a lone rye bird chirps somewhere.
