Finland is so understated. I enjoy that minimalist feel it has. I've never seen it in autumn, but your story gives a good sense of that.

Thanks. Absolutely, it is. It can be hard to get people to understand why they should go, but once they do, they realize how unique it really is. Different even from its Nordic neighbors.

Lovely photos, I love autumn so much. This was wistful and has me longing for the quiet and solitude of somewhere cold and desolate. I lived in Latvia and I can see these images so vividly.

Ah yes, Lativa is also beautiful in fall. Glad it brought you to a happy place. Fall not quite as good in Austria? Haven’t been there during the season so I have no frame of reference on that.

Oh, it’s lovely here in Austria too. Vienna is a very green city and the parks are beautiful right now. I have no complaints, plenty of hiking and foliage opportunities here.

Amazing pics :) ~ as someone who struggles with but craves stillness, I thoroughly enjoyed the wisdom here

I'm not in places that experience autumn too often. It seems so lovely.

It is definitely a great time to travel for the season and it also tends to be pretty good for pricing, availability, and being away from the crowds of summer and the winter holidays.
