I had struggled to get a photo I liked from Puijo, Kuopio. Photographers loved the place, and so did I, but I still struggled, until this day.

It was one of the last days my girlfriend was in Finland before travelling back to Germany. She and I went to Puijo. I had wanted to take a top-down photo of snowy trees for a very long time. But I still wanted it to be a unique photo.

I started the drone and started searching for a “perfect tree”. I wanted to have a tree in the middle of the photo as a focal point.

After a long while, I found one just when I didn’t have much battery left anymore. I thought the tree was great. I took a few photos that I’d later combine in the post to a panorama.

In the post-processing, I loved even more how to photo came out. The tree in the middle was highlighted and you could see “the roundness of Earth” the way the trees are distorted.

After some time, my girlfriend pointed out the trees looked like snowflakes from this perspective. And I thought what a great spot. That’s how this photo got its name.
