Bird Watching
Posted in Birds, Landscape, tagged 16-35, Lauttasaari on January 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Bird watching is a big hobby in Finland. Last weekend we had a happening where thousands of families were watching and identifying birds in their home yards. One very popular place is Lauttasaari, less than 5 kilometers from downtown Helsinki. Picture taken in February 2008.

Internet is full of good pictures, better pictures and best pictures. Therefore I think it really does not make much sense to show too many pictures, no one will [...]

I have a couple of favorite places, rapids close to Espoo manor and Lauttasaari. Today was a good weather to take panorama shots because of overcast skies, and no differences in exposure between the shots. Picture is from Lauttasaari. Click the box, click the pic and scroll!

The picture taken on 8th December 2008 in Lauttasaari, Helsinki. The sun was shining through a small zone almost clear of clouds near to the sea level There were a couple of fisher men.
