New Beginnings!
Live birds are purchased in the market and to be are released for cosmic merit. Thai people believe that emissions are released in live birds and fish. Releasing them you are considered for forgiveness. Or so we were told by the locals.
While visiting a small island in Koh Yao Noi we saw these men in the market buying “forgiveness” a new beginning…

I tried to do these still in the spirit of the season. I have not altered the tones in the photos…trying to be true to the challenge and find the real colors in the photos!
Wishing everyone Happy New Year 2013!
Beautiful hazy foggy day
You can find beauty in a day full of hazy fog…if you look for it.
The sun was already going down and it was around 2 pm, in the first photos, and 4 pm in the last 4 photos.

Challenge is: Exploration!
This was one smelly exploration to a fish market in Negombo, Sri Lanka.
The Fish market was so far from the sterile shops we have here in Finland. This place had life, smells and tons of fresh fish.
It was an experience I won’t forget

This Silence chapel at Kamppi has inspired these pictures..
Present are the light coming indirectly from above and the warm feel of the materials. The inner walls of the chapel area are lined with common alder planks cut to shape. The simple furnishing of the hall are made of massive ash tree. The silver cross at the altar was sculpted by artist blacksmith

Silence chapel of Kamppi
Silence chapel of Kamppi
Between two of the city’s main shopping malls, and the iconic 1930’s Lasipalatsi building, this circular wooden structure is a surprisingly bold architectural statement in one of the busiest parts of Helsinki. Designed by the studio K25 (consisting of three young architects) the awarded building is a site for meditation, its plain minimalist form inviting quiet reflection.
Made out of Finnish timber, the design shows great sensibility for the use of local materials. Without side windows light falls from above through an oval gap around the ceiling, creating a sense of calmness. The chapel demonstrates how contemporary architecture at its best can fascinate and inspire. It is one of the true centerpieces of the WDC 2012 program. (CNN)

The basic idea is to share photo where you have altered the tones. Such as a black and white, sepia toned, selective coloring or colored photo. Feel free to share the original and edit, or just the edit.
