The spring haven't arrived yet to Finland. No blooming to be seen so i haven't been very active with photography lately. This LE shot is from last summer. Sadly my Canon 50D's noise control even with 400 iso is crappy and i have hard time to create pleasing results with it. Even with photoshop i cant seem to fix the problems often. I now days mainly just stick to 50d+sigma 50mm f.1.4 combo, which i love. Take care!

My absence lasted a little longer than expected. Back from vacation, unexpected work on the garden turned out to be possible again....stones from the driveway removed and replaced with gravel for the parking space and borders for new plants.
Hope that now finally a quiet time will come. Happy start of your week ;-))
In a quiet moment...
Feel your oneness with earth and imagine you have roots grounding in the earth,
while your spirit still soars with the breeze into the vastness of the universe.
Zen is more of an attitude than a belief.
Zen is the peace that arises through the unity of oneself with a wholeness, a being that is of a different nature than oneself.
Zen means being aware of the oneness of oneself with the world and everything in it.
Zen means living in the present and experiencing it through and through.
Zen means being free from the distractions and deceptive conflicts of the material world.
Zen means being in tune with the universal course of things.
Zen is to fully experience the present and to enjoy the fundamental miracle of life itself.

In Irland ist der "Drombeg Stone Circle" der besterhaltene Steinkreis und der wohl am häufigsten besuchte Platz der Megalithkultur. Der Steinkreis hat einen Durchmesser von ca. neun Metern und besteht aus 17 stehenden Steinen.

I really like visiting this place and I've been here a few times over the years. I took the drone to get a better (higher) perspective. As you can see it was one of those lovely sunny Winter days after a hard frost the night before. I also made a short video clip which came out pretty nice.
There are actually 4 circles within a few hundred metres of each other but this is the nicest in my opinion. Apparently Oscar Wilde's father (Sir William Robert Wills Wilde FRCSI (March 1815 – 19 April 1876) lived nearby here for 13 years. He had a strong interest in archeology and folklore and was also fascinated by the circles. I wonder was this one his favorite too?
I would like to visit this place when the water level is higher. In the meantime, a slightly overloaded foreground
What to do while waiting for the tide to drop and the sun to set, make a stone sculpture. This one was quite rushed as the sun was setting quickly, but that made it more fun. Made of stone is by The Stone Roses, and seems right. One day , when I've got the time , I'll have to make a really big one .
The Rollright Stones is a complex of three Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monuments near the village of Long Compton, on the borders of Oxfordshire and Warwickshire. Constructed from local oolitic limestone, the three monuments now known as the King's Men and the Whispering Knights
For the "Looking close... on Friday!"- theme: "a single stone".
I found this painted stone on one of my walks in Corona-time, when everything was shut down and closed.
It was a trend at the time.
First, people would look for stones, then paint them at home and place them in a visible spot in the forest or elsewhere, where other walkers would also come. You could take them with you and place them somewhere else or take them home. I found this one so heartwarming that I kept it.
Wishing you a happy smiling Friday ;-))
We were extremely fortunate to see this fantastic bird...we were sitting in the car on the Salisbury Plain looking at some young skylarks on the ground and it flew in to within about 40 metres and proceeded to feast on invertebrates in the soil for about 10 minutes...spectacular!
