Spring in archipelago, a photo from Southern Finland, South

Photographer's Note

Porkkala cape is a peninsula about 30 km west from Helsinki. One has to drive some 18 km along the local road from the highway to reach the parking place of the recreation area. A 1 km path leads to the tip of the cape through a very typical Finnish inner archipelago terrain with crooked pine trees, rocks and small marshy valleys here and there. The cape is a popular bird watching area during the spring migration. The tip of the cape is called Pampskatan.
I was expecting some ices, but all had already melted away. My PS adjustments: levels, saturation (+10), a little more contrast with curves,sharpening (Focus Magic), resizing and the frame.

I do like this coastal view of Finland, so sweet and calm.
A very delicate composition, a charming place.
I saw something like that in Sweden in December but the weather was rainy.
Greetings,
Donato
