Magic Season

It was a very happy xmas and new year with mum and sis. Indeed a magic season minus the snow. I stayed at the airport watching the board for the plane to depart before coming home. This is for you sis from the departute hall.

they went this way...

My mum and sis left today for Singapore. This view is from the small viewing area on the third floor of the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. The floor below is the departure hall.

Well, a week more of hols for me before I go back to school.

last nite...

this is the last nite for this star to be lit. Here in Finland, people throw out their trees tomorrow. (those who have real ones that is) Mine is fake and it is time tomorrow to bring down the decorations.

Also my mum and sis leave for Singapore tomorrow... waaahh...

where is the snow?

No, it didn't snow today, though I thought it might. ;( This was taken on Oct 31st when the first snow arrived in Vantaa. Now it is just dark and rainy.

full moon

full mooon tonite.... taken at 1730 today.

xmas light decorations along the streets...

Fireworks

I tried my best to capture the fireworks from my balcony window. Alas, I didn't get my timing right or angle right. This is from Helsinki harbour.

In Singapore, it is not allowed for the public to shoot 'rockets' or other kinds of fireworks. Only ordinary sparklers are allowed. Here it is different and also at times dangerous when everyone tries to get in on the act and some don't do it responsibly.

DP Theme Day: Best Photograph 2006

First, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Best Wishes for a great 2007!!!

Next, this is one of my favourite photos and I have been using this as my pc wallpaper. I like the serene colours. It was posted on August 14 as Green Acres. Something tat I forgot to mention in that post was that this was taken from a moving car and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. ;-)
You can see the farm houses in the enlarged view.
