Photonics Finland is a technology oriented association that drives the photonics industry in Finland by connecting Finnish photonics companies, research centers, and public authorities. Photonics Finland supports the development of the photonics field from basic research through to the deployment and market launch of products. To truly experience Finland, you have to get out of the city. That is why Finns head to their cottages both winter and summer, and so should you! The winter brings its own unique activities to cottage life such as skiing, ice-swimming, sledding - all in the beautiful background of a blanket of snow and ice as far as the eye can see.

Finland’s Lapland is also one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights, but that of course is another story. Through these aerial photos of Finland I hope you can experience some of the most beautiful sights from Finland from a different perspective. From the powder white snow of Kiilopaa, to the frozen sea at the Gulf of.
