Many people think of Finland as the land of cold weather, darkness, and many forest trees. However, Ossi Saarinen (previously here and here), a Finnish wildlife photographer, believes that the country is much more than just that, and he shows another surprisingly enchanting side of his motherland through nature photography.

Ossi brings pleasant feelings through his photos of spectacular Finnish nature, especially the untouched forests, that Finnish people are so proud of, covering almost three-quarters of the whole country. And within these peaceful and ancient forests, wild animals roam freely and enjoy their lives at their best.

Finnish animals appear to be very mysterious, fascinating and charming just like they've stepped out from fairytales. Ossi does not skip the chances to capture the beauty of Finnish wildlife in animal photography snaps. He believes that every encounter between the animals and humans becomes an unforgettably amazing experience (Well, let’s not talk about the encounter with a bear).

Now, let's enjoy the fairytale's atmosphere in his nature and wildlife photography portfolio.

It's a raccoon dog - from asia but abundant in Finland forests now. Very bad for local environment wiping out smaller mammals, amphibians and lizards

Beautiful animal. Becoming quite rare in much of Asia, but spreading in Europe.

The expression you make when you are upset as a child and your mom tells you to stop crying or else you are going to be beaten again.

Tragic that he dömt shoot this animal, its not Good for Nature. It Berlings in Finland because it escaped. I hope THE photographer can Contact Nature protection in Finland so they can shoot it

How in the world do you get an expression like that. Can't imagine how many shots that would've taken. That's real life Rocket Raccoon.
