The location of this house was beautiful. Surrounded by trees, it had a lovely big rock in the back. It looked great especially with the little snow powder there was that day.
I've always been slow to publish on the blog, but this time there is an excuse: last year we moved to our new house, out of town. Only now we have managed to more or less finish the downstairs. The garden is huge and empty for now (read that as "full of weeds").
There was no water, so we had to get a company drill and make a well; which took long (including the whole time around our wedding...with guests visiting..), but the water is now in the house and very clean and we never have to pay a water bill again! The upstairs is used for storing stuff for now, mostly gardening tools and other things which normally do not belong inside a house.
But it is a happy time and Christmas was warm and calming. And finally with a real tree!

Sometimes it is all you need... Especially around Christmas. Relax, take a cup of warm mint tea and lie down. Whether on a soft sofa with lots of cushions, or in a hot sauna, in which case you might take a cold Coca Cola from the fridge...
Yes, that is my Beagle :)
It's winter outside. Right now -16°C, with a real feel of -25°C. What else would you need than a nice warm blanket, a real fireplace and a skylight?
One of the first properties I photographed was in Espoo, close to the sea shore. An amazingly beautiful house. It also sold quite fast!
2016 edit: thinking of it now, I was a bit lucky to get this house amongst my first. It made the job rather easy. I have evolved and learned a lot since then. Plus upgraded my gear a little bit :)
