Summer in Lapland

"Summer in Finland is the only answer;
it turns the thoughts to run in sad and blue.
The song of bird in Lapland is all shorter,
the flower blooming and all joy pass soon.
-Summer in Lapland by Eino Leino, translation by Matti Naskali

Because the summer up north is all too short.

A detail shot of an ice art made by Lasse Hytönen, Kari Manninen and Sami Kauhanen. On notes the work of art at night, at daylight, and the original shot I have used.

I enhanced the colours and contrasts a lot, used a tilt-shift-effect, blurred the details on top with smudge tool, and enhanced the light details on bottom area.
