Sunset over a Yellow Mustard Flower Field :)
Hello my lovely and talented Flickr friends! Hope you are all doing well!
I´m a little bit behind here in Flickr, because my Canon EOS 50D broke. I´m trying to catch up with you as soon as possible!
Today I'm actually really excited. Soon I'm going to travel to China, Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore. I´m going away for 2 months! This is my first trip abroad AFTER I started to photograph. So I´m looking forward to using my new skills and seeing all the new beautiful places and different cultures. This adventurous trip feels like starting a new chapter in my life.
I´m gonna take my new camera (Canon EOS 7D) with me. I got it a few days ago and it´s really great. I was planning on taking pictures under the water in Thailand, let´s see how it´s gonna work out :D

Up in the mountains in western Madeira. You could shoot this scene for ages - as the cloud patterns changed constantly.
Here is a different telephoto view of some of the many different karst peaks in China. I found it very mesmerizing to watch as the light would bend around the rock walls to create different moods throughout the day.

A close up of a slice of agate. I was surprised to see that the processing revealed the layers in three dimensions. The eye (at least mine) only sees beautiful 2-D patterns.

Queenstown, Singapore
Sunrise from Skyville@Dawson a few days back. Singapore really changes at a breakneck pace; the buildings under construction on the left weren't there until recently. Glad to have captured such a glowy sunrise as well!

I liked the way the rows of various genus of daffodils were spread across the landscape, and my choice of telephoto lens makes them appear closer together.

Color Layering Grateful Leaves (sentiment)
Intense Black ink, Cocoa ink, Pumpkin Pie ink, Soft Vanilla ink, and Soft Brown ink
I love to use deer images on holiday and Christmas cards. I also think that a deer image is equally wonderful on masculine birthday and thank you cards - so I'm looking forward to using this deer stamp well into the new year.
For this card, I simply white embossed the Woodgrain Bold Prints by Lia background stamp onto a brown card base. Then, I applied dark brown ink around the edges with a sponge dauber. I stamped the Color Layering Deer and a sentiment onto a panel of Snow Layering paper that I cut at an angle and layered over an angled panel of blue cardstock. I secured the panels to the card base, trimmed the white panel with a strip of silver glittered cardstock, added a few soft brown pearls, and finished the card with a silver bow at the upper edge.
Thanks so much for looking. :)
This old ship is named after Johan Ludvig Runeberg, Finland's national poet.
He was born February 5, 1804 in Jakobstad, died May 6, 1877 in Borgå.
Runeberg was a Finnish-speaking writer and poet. From his most widely disseminated work, Fänrik Stål's Sayings , published in two parts in 1848 and 1860, comes the text of the Finnish National Anthem, "Our Country."

About the ship:
The m/s J.L. Runeberg was built in Helsinki in 1912. Originally she sailed under the name s/s Helsingfors Skärgård (”Helsinki Archipelago”). In the beginning this steamer sailed west from Helsinki, to Porkkala. In the 1930’s the name was changed to s/s J.L. Runeberg and the ship cruised to Porvoo for the first time.
Over the years the ship has had several owners and been on duty as a transporting ship for the military, as a zoo-ferry and as an excursion boat. It has experienced several groundings, been under break up threat and stood ashore for several years. In the 1960’s it was restored and got a diesel engine. Once again she run between Helsinki and Porvoo.
When m/s J.L. Runeberg came into Shipowners Co J.L. Runeberg’s hands in 1986, it was tired and worn. Together with friends the enthusiastic owners restored the ship. The careful maintenance and restoring job goes on every winter, using traditional methods and crafts. The future looks bright for this 106 years old ship!

The spire of Uspenski Cathedral can be seen in the background. It is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Helsinki, Finland, dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos (the Virgin Mary).
Its name comes from the Old Church Slavonic word uspenie, which denotes the Dormition. Designed by the Russian architect Aleksey Gornostayev (1808–1862). The cathedral was built after his death in 1862–1868.
The crypt chapel of the cathedral is named after the holy Alexander Hotovitzky, who served as vicar of the Orthodox parish of Helsinki 1914–1917.
The Cathedral is set upon a hillside on the Katajanokka peninsula overlooking the city. On the back of the cathedral, there is a plaque commemorating Russian Emperor Alexander II, who was the sovereign of the Grand Duchy of Finland during the cathedral's construction. Main cathedral of the Finnish Orthodox Church in the diocese of Helsinki, Uspenski Cathedral is claimed to be the largest orthodox church in Western Europe.
