the road toward the border (Imatra, crossing Finland-Russia)

I went to Imatra by chance. I was booked to go to Italy for the Christmas Holidays, but as I left it too late to buy a return ticket those became way too expensive. So i took the cheapest flight out of italy: to Lapperanta, Finland. Which is not too far from the border. From there I reached Imatra, border crossing to Russia.
My half-finnish friend Dagmar came to meet me and kindly walked with me through the countryside near the border. It was raining heavily, freezing continuous rain. The roads very ice and it was difficult to walk. And as I had arrived in a cheap ryanair flight with no luggage, i didn't have a tripod. It was practically like photographing at night. So slightly underexposed images.

Those are my tests
