A few photos from my trip to Oulanka national park, Kuusamo, Finland. I was there on a 4-day meeting/seminar, and luckily i presented my work already on the morning of the second day so I could truly enjoy the place the rest of the time.. We call the polar nights kaamos: this is during the winter when the sun doesn't rise over the horizon and the only light during the day is twilight. In summer, on the other hand, the sun doesn't set at all for a few weeks (depending on how far north of the polar circle you are).

The long winter sleep.. Juniperus communis.

I actually thought he was looking at me with luring eyes.

Maybe I misinterpreted his reasoning. Ah well. I get to play with a 2 meter snakey next week or the week after. My classmates has 2 snakes.

**Mari** · 12-17-2008, 12:15 PM

Beautiful

Nerdanel · 12-17-2008, 12:55 PM

glad you like it

it was quite a dreamy landscape they had there..

Grey_Wolf · 12-17-2008, 02:35 PM

Very nice winterpics - a bit of Narnia there.

and the last pic is my vision of peace and quiet - a cabin by a lake in the forest near the mountains.

Nerdanel · 12-19-2008, 08:23 PM

Glad you like 'em, G_W!

You are welcome!

Nice pics again, Nerd my friend!

**Mari** · 12-20-2008, 04:17 AM

That water looks dirty.
The pics are beautiful though. Teehee, those squireltracks remind me of something funny ^_^

Nerdanel · 12-24-2008, 08:23 AM

thanks, guys

the water is brown, yeah: the water in most rivers in finland is brown because of the high humus content in it. so it's not really dirty, depending of course on what you mean about dirty.

more photos!

a friend at her belly dancing performance.

sedeer, a great friend who has been kind enough to let me live with him when i was renting out my flat. he's fed me well.. but now i'm moving back home.

whee, i'm at home with my cat again!

growing pains is what i'm calling this.. life isn't always easy.

Nerdanel · 12-28-2008, 07:32 PM

Mk, some more cat photos and a few from this morning when I went out before sunrise.. Stayed out for 3 hours in the cold and did photography. I've missed that.

**Mari** · 12-29-2008, 05:21 AM

Yay! New wallpaper!

The iceflower is pretsy. And I really like the lighting in the second cat-pic.

Nerdanel · 12-29-2008, 05:42 AM

Thanks, Mari!

These aren't really geared for this thread as they're tourist snaps done by the bf of our holiday in Melbourne, Australia, but I can't think where else to put them.

Melbourne, hotel hallway, getting ready to go out.

Nice pics, bop! What do you mean - they're not geared for this thread - this is place for everyone's photos regardless who has taken them.

Grey_Wolf · 01-02-2009, 01:13 AM

Pretty catpics and a simply amazing sunset, and nice pics over all, as usual, my friend.

Nerdanel · 01-26-2009, 09:54 PM

I might bomb this thread with some colourful photos tonight and tomorrow. You've been warned.

The Chinese New Year was celebrated in Helsinki, and I was fortunately there with my camera. It was a great celebration, far too few people had heard about it.. The performers brought much-needed colour and energy to gray Helsinki. It was beautiful. As you might notice, the performers were great subjects too, but so were their shadows. I had so much fun developing these. 8)

Beware of your shadow..

More shadows..

There were also some puppeteers..

.. and some martial arts performers.

Grey_Wolf · 02-22-2009, 02:16 PM

Taken with my new cellphone's camera last weekend.

Nerdanel · 02-23-2009, 07:11 PM

you.. have a pretty good camera on your phone, g_w. o.O
