This is not something I would do but Ice swimming is supposedly good for your health.
I took some pictures of the flowing water that keeps the ice hole open and the edges of the hole look lovely – artistic.

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…
Water in motion
The beautiful colors and textures of rocks
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

Rhythem – my search for it
Rytmi – haasteessa oli tarkoitus löytää rytmiä valokuva kohteista. Ohessa minun rytmini, on jazzia, marssimusiikkia sekä hip hoppia…
Rhythm – the challenge was to find a rhythm in the photography subjects.. Here is my visual rhythms, , the jazz, marching music, and hip hop .
Minun yhteys maailmaan vahvistuu aaltojen rytmistä ( pienistä laineista tai aallokosta)
… Onnellisuudessa ei ole kyse intensiteetistä vaan tasapainosta ja järjestyksen ja rytmin ja harmonian välillä.
My connection to the earth is reinforced through the rhythm of the waves, (small waves or the surf)
… Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony.
Rhythm -marching
Rhythm – jazz

Rhythm- walz
