My best photos and lots of top photos of others (reposts).
Living in Helsinki, Finland.
Parhaita kuviani ja paljon muiden huippukuvia uudelleenjakoina.
Pinned
While waiting for this year's autumn colors
to get into full swing,
I'll post a few pictures from last September. 🍁🌞

Odotellessani, että tämän vuoden ruska pääsisi vauhtiin, postaan muutaman kuvan edelliseltä syyskuulta.

A quiet moment on the prairie.
Dozens of bison rest in the low autumn sun, their breath barely rising in the cool air.

I apparently misread the theme; it should be #bright,
not #light, but I guess this works for that too...? 🙂
Even #November can sometimes have such beautiful weather. I took this picture in 11/2021, in the low #light typical of this time of year.
Today was also an equally lovely, exceptional day. 😎

One of the funner moments from my South Africa trip occurred when these two little borbs decided to chase each other on the edge a lagoon.

(They're Black Crakes, btw.)

Taking a break from Africa pics... here's a significantly cooler locale.

On a peaceful morning in the Great Bear Rainforest, I stepped out on deck to hear the silence of this inlet broken up by the exhales of two humpback whales.

This remains one of my favorite shots from the early years (2009).

Those of us in the Pacific Northwest are bracing for "King Tides" today. I shot this in 2024 during King Tides; the best clamming tides.
