    Sun and Moon

    When will I ever learn to leave early enough for a shoot? That was what I was wondering as I rushed towards Lake Littoistenjärvi. The destination was decided at the very last minute. Once I arrived, though, it proved to be the right call. There was an unobstructed view to the western horizon...

    Summer nights dream

    Thanks everyone. Here's a new picture that I just got done. That's a photo I've been trying to get for ten years. Pretty much the best NLC photo I've ever taken.

    Summer nights dream

    The preparations for our daughters confirmation party had stretched late into the night on several evenings, and I had built up more sleep debt than I cared to admit. I stepped outside to bring the rugs in and, as is my habit, glanced up at the sky. Cirrus clouds... no, wait... noctilucent...

    The arc far away

    The wristwatch buzzed. 1:20 a.m. Ugh. I turned over. The watch buzzed again. I had set four alarms so I wouldn’t oversleep this time. Sigh… I guess I have to get up. I drove for a good half hour through the spring night. Quiet, as expected. At the end of an overgrown forest track, I parked and...

    An old croft

    Thanks. A croft... I'm not sure if it's the right word, but anyways.. Here in Finland we call(ed) those as "torppa". They were build in a landowners land with their permission. An payment, the people living in those crofts worked for the landowners Well, that's a very simplified version :D...

    Equinox Auroras

    The aurora values started looking so good in the evening that I just had to get out. It had been way too long since the last time I had photographed auroras At first, it looked like we’d just get something "nice and small," but right as I was about to head out, the Bz took a massive dive. Then...

    Parga, Greece

    Monday morning. We were going back to home in the evening. I woke up around 4am and couldn't get any sleep. So, I decided to go outside, to see the sunrise. It was a beautiful morning. Peaceful. I wandered around the town for a couple of hours. A beautiful , but simultaneously, a sad day, for...

    Parga, Greece

    It was the second last day there, when I decided to swim to the island of Panagia. It seemd fairly easy, the water was rather shallow, but strong wind made the trip rather... Breath taking, so to speak. And I held my phone in the air, in a plastic bag, so that didn't make things any easier. But...

    Parga, Greece

    One day, we visited the Venetian Castle of Parga, that was build around 15th century. The views were stunning, like from a movie, or a dream.
