Let’s not forget that however we nature photographers try, Mother Nature is still the best artist there is. Our job is just to document it.
…comes the sun. Even the wind was behaving itself so I got some flower photography done for a change. Don’t ask me how I did the background in this one. It was grass and it wasn’t very far away but somehow it seems to have been far enough. All I did was to adjust white…
Third day straight, hard wind. Add the dark skies and the occasional shower and you can imagine that my photo album is not exactly exploding. But I’m still producing at least one picture per day and coming up with new subjects – for a better weather. I did some local sightseeing today. Since we’re surrounded…
One thing I’ve been wondering about is how everyone looks so familiar here. Every time we visit the town, I keep staring at people (especially the older ones), thinking that I know them. It wouldn’t be impossible because this is where my family comes from (almost all of the younger ones have moved elsewhere but…
Funny how time flies when you’re doing nothing. I honestly can’t remember exactly what I’ve done from day to day since I arrived to our summer house in Savonlinna. Somehow it sounds like I’ve been making perfect use of my holiday though… My sister with family and dog in tow arrived a couple of days…
Since it’s a long drive from Loos to Stockholm to catch the morning ferry, I drove to Älvkarleby for the night. It also provided me a chance to catch some sea air (not that I really crave for it) so I headed straight to the beach. I had planned to take some long exposure pictures…
Thursday, my last morning in Canada! All that remained of my holiday was to drive to the harbour, wait, take the ferry to Vancouver, get across the town to the airport, wait, board the flight to Heathrow, wait, transfer to the Arlanda plane, wait, take the train to Hudiksvall, wait, switch to the Ljusdal bus,…
Time to begin the journey home and drive across the island to our last overnight stop at Nanaimo. But I’d rather go out with a bang, so I got another chance to photograph some aquatic life at Pacific Rim, and then to top it all off, we had a lucky encounter with an otter at…
Pacific Rim National Park Reserve – that’s our primary Vancouver Island destination. We were both eager to see the coastal rain forest, so that was our first stop of the day. There are just short and easy hikes here and they don’t get much easier than the Rain Forest trail, but photography is just that…
Vancouver Island is a great place if you want to do whale watching, so we drove to Telegraph Cove in the northern Vancouver Island to catch a tour. It had been a foggy morning and we were a bit worried that we would lose all the whales in the fog, but as our departure got…
