Whoa! Southwestern Finland has had a couple of - degree centigrade nights, but no sign of snow. I guess the big question here (as usual nowadays) is whether there will be snow before holiday season 🤔

Mahtinaisentie by night ✨ I took this image on 12.1.2020. I was curious to see how my post-processing skills have improved over the years, so I decided to redo it.

A captivating night scene featuring a winding road illuminated by a series of bright, glowing lights that create mesmerizing light trails. The road curves gracefully through a forested area, with tall trees silhouetted against the dark sky. The foreground is moderately lit, revealing the texture of the trees and the surrounding landscape, adding depth to the image. Overhead, power lines stretch across the frame, adding a sense
of scale and perspective. In the distance there is a warm, orange glow casting a soft, ethereal light over the entire scene. The overall composition balances the mysterious allure of the night with the limited visibility of the foreground.

Pumpkin weeks are on again. The light pillars are part of a light show called "Valon Leikki" i.e. Play Of Light on and around Halikko church.

A serene night scene featuring a path lined with tall birch trees, their white bark and sparse autumn leaves illuminated by a soft, warm light. The path leads into the distance, where there is a faint glow of a distant light source. Above, the dark sky is dotted with stars, and several vertical beams of light pierce the night sky, adding a mysterious and ethereal quality to the scene.

Under the celestial canopy, a tranquil path beckons, flanked by ghostly birch trees and bathed in the glow of distant lights. Vertical beams of light pierce the starry night, creating a mystical and enchanting atmosphere that invites the viewer to embark on a journey into the unknown.

This is a striking nighttime long-exposure photo taken in Porto, Portugal. The image captures a corner building with classic European architecture, lit in cool tones of blue and green, with a sign that reads “VESTIR BEM” (part of the well-known phrase “Vestir bem e barato só aqui” meaning “Dress well and cheaply only here”).

In the foreground, colorful light trails from passing vehicles streak across the scene—reds, whites, and blues—creating a vibrant motion effect against the stillness of the historic building. The cobblestone street at the bottom adds a textured detail typical of Porto.

The deep blue sky and glowing street lamps enhance the contrast, giving the photo a dramatic, cinematic atmosphere. It beautifully blends Porto’s historic charm with modern city energy.

Another shot from my recent trip to Latokartanonkoski, this one away from the rapids 🦋

An orange and black butterfly perches delicately on a cluster of mall, white flowers with yellow centers. The background is a soft blur of green foliage, creating a serene and natural setting. The butterfly's wings are fully spread, showing intricate patterns and a striking contrast against the blossoms. The scene captures a moment of stillness and beauty in nature.

Silky water and foliage from Latokartanonkoski, one of my favorite local places to visit 🤩

#longexposure #silkywater #foliage #canonphotography #eosr6markii #summer2025 #latokartanonkoski #atmosphericphotos #visitfinland #discoverfinland

A long exposure shot of a natural scene featuring a stream flowing over moss-covered rocks. The rocks, varying in shades of green and brown, are partially submerged in the water. The water is smooth and silky due to the long exposure time. In the background, more rocks and patches of grass and small blue flowers add depth and color to the setting.

Teijo National Park at sunset. It's almost Midsummer. The nights here where I live won't get truly dark until August.

A serene lakeside scene at sunset, with the sky painted in hues of orange and purple. The calm water reflects the vibrant colors of the sky and the surrounding trees. A row of small boats is docked along the shore, and the silhouette of a forest is visible in the background. The foreground features a rocky shoreline, adding texture to the tranquil landscape.

It's been a while since I last visited Teijo National park. Went there yesterday to shoot the sunset.

The sunset on the top third of the image contains shades of blue, yellow and purple some if which are also reflected by the lake. A green forest is going across the image on the background.

I took a walk around Vaisakko nature trail today. Here is a macro shot of a Suffolk lungwort flower with three blossoms. All three blossoms are a different color.

Macro shot of a Suffolk lungwort flower with three blossoms. The topmost blossom is blue, the blossom below that is bluish purple and the one that is out of focus on the lower left corner is red. There is also a tiny yellow spider on the right edge of the top flower. The background is a nice green bokeh.

Spring, the magical time of the year when nature becomes alive again. This macro shot of newborn moss turned out nicely 💚

#moss #macrophotography #macro #green #spring #atmosphericphotos #bokeh #canonphotography #hdr #lightandshadow #photooftheday #naturephotography #finnishnature

Newborn moss on the lower right corner of the image. Green bokeh on the upper left side and some focused branches on the top right side. Vivid green colors and brightly lit areas mixed with dark areas. The image has a lot of dynamic range and all in all a nice composure.

I'm fairly certain that this will go to the court of appeal and the ruling will be changed. Finnish legislation is really strict about consent and ability to give consent. I don't remember ever seeing a similar case with this kind of ruling.

The thing that is really concerning here, though, is the fact that a minor who is as drunk as the article indicates should not be considered fit to give proper consent.

Being Finnish I'll correct some of your misunderstandings: According to the article 1) She left the hospital waiting area with the men after they had gotten to acquainted, she was not dragged nor was she in ER. Also she was heavily drunk, not unconscious.
