Photographer Captures The Changing Beauty Of Kotisaari Island In Finland Through All 4 Seasons
Jani Ylinampa is a nature photographer based in Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland. He‘s a real master of capturing the dancing Northern Lights, breathtaking sunsets, beautiful forests, lakes and other wonders of nature, and he‘s been doing it for almost 15 years.
One of those magical objects that caught Ylinampa‘s eye was a lovely Kotisaari island in Rovaniemi, that used to be a traditional stronghold of the Lumberjacks in Kemijoki. Floating in the scenic Kemi river, it became just the right place to fulfil photographer’s wish to capture the changing beauty of nature. He documented the island from a drone through all four seasons, which resulted in four really different but mesmerizing pictures of this wonderful piece of land. Scroll down to see it for yourself.

Interesting how autumn is more colourful than spring. Sure it makes sense, it's just not the perception we're accustomed to.
Well, yeah, it makes sense - in autumn the grass is just starting to dry out after it's growth spurt during summer, while in spring it's already dried from having been under snow for a couple of months and just starting to regain it's colour. Interestingly, in southern Europe the colours are inverted - the grass is greener in spring because it dries out due to intense sunlight at the height of summer, while winter comes with humidity but little (if any) snow which allows it to regain it's colour.

It is always nice to see photos from the Lapland, Finland. I have visited the Rovaniemi when I was a child and I really should visit there again someday. :) Lapland Odyssey (Napapiirin Sankarit) movie trilogy is really fun. :)
what you leave out of a photograph is often as important as what you put in. it is not so tranquil and deserted as one might think judging from these photo's. https://goo.gl/maps/aBSvWryhWVM2
The island is tranquil, there's not a lot of traffic there, but it is located close to the heart of town.

That is the place where I would like to live... no people, no contamination, no cars, no noise, just peace, nature and my pets
Me too, although I could probably let you have it in the winter.

Brilliant photo series. Nevertheless, when going on google Earth, it is quite sobering, how close this piece of "nature pure" is located to urban Rovaniemi. I am sure, like a display item, it will be replicated on one of Finland's thousands of lakes in more remote regions. Only to be shared with the legendary mosquitos...
Shape of this island is quite similar to the shape of Sri Lanka, isn't it?
No no, I just picked the place before you did ;)
