Movement!

I’m participating in LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge. This week’s Challenge is: Movement!

I haven’t had time to  photograph lately, but I went thru my archives to find some movement… fish school – riptide – people at sea – kite surfer – waterfall.

Spring in Kirkkonummi

tina´s wordless wednesday # 85

Spring has finally arrived to us here in Kirkkonummi, Finland. Yesterday  in the garden, I saw the crocuses were in bloom and  spotted the first wood anemone’s  in the forest.

The catkins were still in going strong – and there was still some ice in the ditch by the road.

Valokuvatorstai: TOIVO – HOPE

Toivo - Heijastus

Sielunpeilin on mahdotonta heijastaa mitään, mikä ei ole sen edessä.

Tyyni järvi ei voi kuvastaa syvyydessään vuorta, puuta tai pilveä, elleivät ne ole aivan lähellä.

Valo ei voi luoda maahan esineen varjoa, ellei esinettä ole olemassa.
Mitään ei voi nähdä, kuulla tai muuten aistia, ellei sitä ole olemassa.

 Kahlil Gibran

Tie kohti toivoa

Lets Be Wild – Spring!

I’m participating in the online adventure travel and photography magazine LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggersThis week’s Challenge is: Spring!

These are the colors of spring… yellow, green and white. Impatiently waiting for them.

This morning the temperature was -21C, so no spring for us yet.

The first signs are  dandelions popping up, the new light green of  the grass and the whiteness of cow parsley growing by the sidewalks

Nature – Black and White

I’m participating in the onlineadventure travel and photography magazine LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggers

This week’s Challenge is: Black and White!

I find that when photographing nature in  black and white has to have good shadows and light all in balance, also I find that  graphic shapes come out looking best. Tree trunks, roads, flowers with graphic shape…here are some of my shots.

People in nature

I’m participating in the online adventure travel and photography magazine LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggersThis week’s Challenge is: People in Nature!

I took a simple approach to this…all kids love to play in the nature, well at least mine did.

We spent hours daily playing in woods, ditches and by the sea. I wish all kids had that opportunity. These did – all in different countries.

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.

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.

Snow and Ice

It is winter here in Finland and we got 20-40 cm of snow last Friday  – so I have to go with textures of winter.

Snow flakes can be so beautiful…beauty in detail

The idea was to photograph water – I was trying to find new way of seeing it –

so I took photos of puddles, sea ripples, these are few of the photos I took…
