Vuodenajat tv-documentary series

Photographing the seasons has taken us to the landscapes of northern and eastern Finland for decades. This has made it possible to photograph the change of seasons in the same places, because every year and season is different. It is rarely possible to see the first snow falling on the ground, when the seasons have changed as a result of climate change, closer together.

Winter begins when the average daily temperature is permanently below 0°C and ends when the temperature permanently exceeds 0°C. Spring, summer and autumn then follow each other. However, the seasonal temperatures and weather changes have become confused due to climate change.

We are interested in the effect of climate change on seasonal changes, and we will produce a related TV series together with scientific communities.

Explorer's Altai

COMMENT The documentary has already been filmed, but it will not be done if it is part of Russia sanctions. Russia has not participated in the making of the documentary and will not participate in any way.

Tauno Kohonen has traveled the same routes in Altai as Granö. As a result of his hobby of tourism, he also got to know the peculiarities of Siberian nature. However, Kohonen has never been a tourism entrepreneur. The starting point was geographer J. G. Granö's research in the Altai region at the beginning of the 20th century. Photos and full HD video have been used as research material for future production.

The source work is J.G. A 600-page diary written by Granö about the experiences of his expeditions to the Altai and Mongolia. He made six expeditions to the Altai region.
