Golden hour over the fields of Ruissalo island

Naantali sunset

Taken from Naantali, overlooking the archipelago. It could be a great place if it wasn't for the mutated mosquitoes that happened to be immuned to the repellent spray.

Where midnight sun meets the horizon

Taken from the bridge to Ruissalo island on my way back from a late cycling trip. Minor rain made the skies amazing.

Midsummer 2013

Midsummer eve brought us gorgeous skies and lovely weather. We went to Naantali island to watch both President's and the city bonfires. 

It's a bit of shame that the night was stormy, so there was no chance of getting any sunrise photos.

Not so Supermoon, but still quite big and bright for the region

Taken at random time and places around Finland.

Sunshine forest

As summer is approaching, the sun starts to set right "in our living room", giving quite nice photo opportunities.

 

Frozen seas and fallen stars

Taken at Ruissalo, while the sea was still quite frozen. The wave-like shapes form when ships pass and push water to the sides, making new layers of ice.

Edit: The photo was featured into the Tumblr Landscape tag

 

Snow blizzard and back pain

We had some really bad weather here, in Western Finland this weekend. For now, the snow blizzard is gone and sun is shining again. Sadly I couldn't enjoy it much, due to horrible back pain that pinned me to the couch. It appeared for no reason, I'm only hoping it will go away soon.

Gorgeous sunny Sunday afternoon, captured from our balcony

as amazing sunset

Cold nights, frozen sea and ships passing

We took a walk around Ruissalo, since the sea is frozen and there are shortcut paths going on the ice. While we were taking photos, that happened about 50 meters away from the ship - a Finnlines cargo ship passed really close, so we had to take some steps back to the shore, just in case.

Sadly, there hasn't been a clear night since this one.

Winter sunset at Ruissalo

 

One of the very few sunny days we've had in months. 

Finally, the brightness lasted longer than 10 minutes, so we could take photos.

Location is Ruissalo island, part of the Turku archipelago.

Stormy sunset over Turku archipelago

Me and Kalle got to the top of an old war tower at Ruissalo and managed to successfully shoot the amazing sunset. The price paid was epic cold shower seconds after the last piece of the panorama was taken. Totally worth it.
