... People living on the coast of Gulf of Bothnia has this speciality that us southeners at the Gulf of Finland don't: the sun that sets into the sea. Shooting against the setting sun was especially challenging this time because of the huge contrast between the glittering sea and the gloomy skies. Luckily I always shoot raw, I wouldn't have succeeded at all without it, not even close. Funny that there was this constant flux of people to the tip of the sand bank even though everyone could clearly see there was absolutely nothing out there. Perhaps the adults hoped they'd hear Sirens singing there, and the kids would get a glimpse of the mighty Kraken.

We had this fine halo effect this morning right after the sunrise.

Well, not all of them. In fact, at a closer inspection, none of them are.

To add to the puzzling title I only say this: children's songs in odd time signatures should be outlawed because they lure innocent children into prog-rock.

This reminds me of a song by a Finnish singer Edu Kettunen. The song is about generations, about a family outing from which the father chooses not to return - instead, he turns himself into a tree on the seashore. (Yes, believe me, the sea is right there behind the man.) It is a finely crafted song but so abysmally sad that I cannot listen to it too often.

No, it is not a dream, and it is not a fire either; it is morning sun reflecting from water under a bridge.

Yellow posts were so funny that I left the color, whereas the greens were so burnt and futile that I removed them altogether. Result is quite weird and, err, pointless: you cannot tell why the picture was taken or why it is colored like this. :)

Not upside down or anything: sun is reflecting from water under a bridge.

Turku castle in the early 90's. I had just bought a 20 mm lens for my Canon F-1.

Night falls and slight mist rises from the yet warm fields.

Sun finally set behind the barn. In these latitudes the sun mainly moves sideways, so it took quite some time to go .
