Views from above

We had a reporter and photographer come to make an article about our project. The photographer had a copter/drone that he took these winter pictures with.

A picture of our place from right above. The blue circle is our house (covered with a tarpaulin), next to it building wood under cover, to the left of it some trees, the outside toilet on the edge of the few trees, all the way to the left the piles of fire wood. Closest to the top of the picture a pile of building wood and close to that the play house. To the bottom of the photo there is the driveway up to our yard. To the right (south) of the house there will be our garden with berries. Picture/Kuva: Aleksi Jalava/Iltasanomat

 

Picture taken from the south so here you could see our well and garden if it wasn't covered with snow. To the right here is building wood under cover.  On the east side of the house you can see the completed tin roof. The rest of the roof is covered with a tarpaulin and the sides are covered with recycled plastic to keep the snow out of the house for the winter. To the east we have young spruce forest on a uphill, to the west we have really young mixed forest with mostly birch on a downhill. Picture/Kuva: Aleksi Jalava/Iltasanomat

 

 Picture taken from the north. In the background you can see my dads vegetable farm. When we are in our yard we are not able to see the fields through the skinny forest. Picture/Kuva: Aleksi Jalava/Iltasanomat 

This picture is taken last summer from the roof of our house. It shows the few trees we have between the house and the fire wood piles.

 This is taken towards north. Playhouse and in distance building wood.

And this is taken towards south. There is our water well surrounded by earth that our helpers moved to make the ground higher because the ground around the well was in a depression. So now the rain water does not run down hill straight to the well and will hopefully flow away because of the uphill it meets before the well. You can also see the area that will be our back garden.
