Aulanko, I'm in Love

This is orgastic. I had the best sunday. I'm in love with this fall, it's been so beautiful and sunny and coulours are outrageous. Aulanko is a park in Hämeenlinna, forrest full of oaks, maples, elms, horse-chestnuts and small leaved limes. It is a somewhat different scene from the usual finnish forrests. My horse is at a stable right next to Aulanko-park, so I get a unique (at least to me) chance to wander in the park on the horse-back. So that's the backround.

Yesterday it was one of those perfect autumn days, when the weather is clear and sunny and cool. When i entered the forrest, it just took my breath away. Maples were golden, and the sunshine was scattered, reaching the ground where ever it could thru the leaves.

It was one of those moments, when you realise that nothing in the world is better than being alive. I'm so happy that we moved to the riding club there.

Autumns are also time for the harvested fields. One of my favourite things is to go to a field to ride. Cantering on a field is enjoyable for the horse and the rider. And so we did, perfect end for a perfect ride.
