Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected
We saw this wonderful sight at the coast of Sri Lanka. One rarely gets to see a blue whale so close. We were told to be quiet and having listened to the captains orders; the whale came to check out our boat. It swam around and under our boat, so we were able to see it up and close – It was impressive!

Sadunomainen / Fairy- tale
I had to think about this one. Two of the pictures not Macros but – something fairy-tale like is in them – or movie so I had to include them just for the topic
The main photo is as Macro as can be – it is a very close up of a lichen ( jäkälä) only thing I’ve done is enhanced the colors

Weekly photo challenge – inside
I had trouble deciding what kind of pictures I would like to add to this. Here are two different approaches to it. The first picture are taken in valley of the Kings in Cyprus
Spread over a vast area, these impressive underground tombs date back to the 4th century BC. They are carved out of solid rock while some are decorated with Doric pillars. High officials rather than Kings were buried here, but the magnificence of the tombs gave the locality its name.
The other set is home of the elephant farm workers in Thailand…totally different take.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Different Point of View
I took photos of this old wooden barn – I have not taken one single shot of the whole building, but the parts that are about to be destroyed by time.
I do not once again know if this a different point of view… of what. But it is beautiful in its ugliness.
