Helsinki to Oulu

It’s a bright crisp morning, I have a good day for the trip north.

It’s off the local train at Helsinki.
Onto the IC23 to Oulu.

Not knowing any better I sat myself in first class which has a nice place to hang coats and store luggage. Plus it’s on the upper deck.

I way politely shifted to standard class.

Big houses on the way out of Helsinki.
A bridge across the frozen Keravanjoki
Expanse of blue sky and snow
The birches I tipped with white ice.
Lakes are just white.
White in the trees
Power production using wood chips?
A farm – Loumanloukko
Station at Kauhava
Bright sun.
Approaching Kannus
Frozen Lestijoki
Another frozen river.
Arrived at Oulu
