Sky's the Limit

No matter where you go, you realize that it's hard to make a nice landscape photography if the sky is a plain dull gray mixture, or a gaudy blue without a single cloud. So, when a few weeks ago the sunset began out to cast splendid lights on a cloud-covered sky, I was able to make these two shots, without leaving my own bedroom.

So remember: sometimes you don't have to go very far to find an appealing subject.

Swing Dancing & Frankie 99

May 26th, 2013 marked Frankie Manning's 99 birthday. That being said, it was just yet another excuse to go out and dance Lindy Hop, as we like to do on a bright Sunday afternoon. I don't usually take my camera with me on those occasions, but the conditions were so great that I think it was good chance to show you what outdoor swing dancing in Oulu looks like!

 

On a Bright May Afternoon

This post is for my fellow comrades from South and Western Europe complaining about their crappy weather. The pictures were taken yesterday, and they show how how harsh is the weather we have to endure here in northern Finland. All those places are at a ≤10min walking distance from the very city center of Oulu.

Frozen Reality

 

This week-end the sun shone bright, and the temperature was above 0°C. So I decided to take on a stroll, while the sea was still frozen, lest it melted. Above is a picture of a boat just beside the city center. And in the last picture below you can see people cross-country skiing on the frozen sea!

Kraków Without Fog

I've been to Kraków 2 times. On my first trip it was foggy as hell, and we could see more than 3 meters before us. Second time was much better, a bit cold maybe, but it's a good excuse to drink hot chocolat. In the end I can surmise it that Kraków is a city of churches, red bricks, obwarzanek and funny stuff.

Snowy Prahanorama

A while ago I decided to try to create some panorama of Prague, when it was still covered in snow. Here are two pictures taken at this occasion:

And the aforementioned panorama:

Charles Bridge at dawn

My take on the classical “let's take a photo on Charles Bridge early in the morning”. There was no snow nor beautiful sunrise this day, so I'll have to try again.
