Northern Lights

Okay, so today I have only one picture, but this is quite a special one. Indeed, last week-end was the first time I saw an aurora borealis. It was Friday evening, on March 29th, and I've heard that there was some solar activity during the day, with good chances to see an aurora when the night would fall. So I grabbed my stuff, borrowed my flatmate's bike, and cycled to the beach where I tried to enjoy the show and take some pictures. This is far from being the best shot of an aurora you've ever seen, because I did have some light polution, because it sky was a bit cloudy, and well… also because it was the first time I tried to photograph an aurora. But it's not so bad either for a first try, so here we go:



So, on this picture you have the aforementioned aurora, the frozen sea, some clouds, and on the right side if you pay attention you'll also spot the comet Pan-STARRS.

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!

Skiing at Iso-Syöte


2 days after my arrival to Oulu, I went skiing to Finland's southernmost fell, with a not-so-cold-but-still-cloudy weather. Enjoy the pictures (with some black and white):

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:
