Espoonkoski, Espoo, Finland. After snowing comes rain. Freezing forms the veils on stones. Picture taken in 2007.
Budapest in Daylight

I know, it is like a post card. There must be thousands of pics like this, taken exactly from the same spot. But it is a good spot showing Danube, bridges, big Parliament House, Margaret island, Buda hills and river cruisers in the same image.
Budapest by Night

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is listed as one of the most beautiful cities worldwide. It belongs to the same class as Prague or Florence. The mighty Danube crosses the city dividing it to hilly Buda and flat Pest. I visited the city together with my wife last week enjoying sunny weather. The pic is taken handheld from the deck of a tourist boat.

Espoo Golf Course
We still do not have snow in Helsinki area. I went to my golf course to take some frost shots. There are round willow type trees around the 15th green. I used my Canon 5D and EF 24-105/4L lens without any filter. I cloned out the sticks and ropes around the green in front of the picture. You can see more golf course pictures in Top 100 Shots. (Canon 5D + 24-105/4 at 10)
