I’m Back

I’ve had some problems with my domain…but now I am back on line 🙂

We had some nice frost today – cold, but no snow. It was sunny out so I went out and took some macros,  here is a first ones

A blacksmith

This blacksmith ( http://www.iikanpaja.fi/) , Iikka Pyötsiä was selling and showcasing his craft at Hvitträsk yesterday at the Chrismas market. I have studied sculpture with him and he his very talented in that  area too and I know he has done pieces that combine both metal and sculpture’s done with clay.

Hvitträsk #2

Hvitträsk was designed to be a studio home for the members of the Finnish architecture firm Gesellius, Lindgren, and Saarinen. It later became the private residence of Eliel Saarinen. It is located about 30 kilometers (19 mi) west of Helsinki in Kirkkonummi, Finland. These photos are from the grounds of Hvitträsk and the lake was now white 🙂

.[H]vitträsk literally means White Lake

I always enjoy the finds of nature around these bolt on my backyard fence. I took these today as we had a a moment of light much to my surprise.
