Hienoja kuvia. Tuo heinikko oli miltei samanlainen minkä ympärillä minäkin vaeltelin.
Teen kollaasit Picasa3 ohjelmalla.
Tosin olen amatööri näissä asioissa ja opettelen vasta!; 4 January 2009 at 22:05
Gerald (Ackworth born) said...: The first - close up of ice - and fifth - frozen waterfall - are my favourites.; 4 January 2009 at 23:08

Hheidi: Komeammilta näyttivät vielä luonnossa

Ana: It is actually the sea but the shores of our sea (the Finnish Gulf) are often quite shallow and thus remind of lakes.

Ackworth born: The fifth one is my absolute favourite too. In reality they were even more impressive. In finnish we call this kind of thing an Ice Organ (it looks a bit like that instrument).

Vapulis: Niinhän sitä on tullut tehtyä. Sitä kun on jo pitkään sormet syyhynnyt päästä ottamaan talvikuvia ja nyt ilmat on olleet siihen just passelit.; 5 January 2009 at 01:41

Awards

Sain tämän arvonannon, joka tarkoittaa 'blogisi on timantti' blogista Nousee päivä, laskee päivä
Kaunis kiitos!

I got this award from Today's Blah. A very beautiful gesture. Much appreciated. Thank you!

Sain upealta taiteilijalta Zilgalta tämän tunnustuksen. Olen otettu.

Thankyou Pacey

Valkyrien of Norway made me a hot blogger by this award

Thankyou dear friend. I must take care not to burn my fingers while writing :)

Oh please do not think I gave myself an award, even if I did start this one. There is a limit to my vanity. No, it was dear Pacey from Today's Blah that wanted to give this same award back to me as what I gave to her. So I made it as well as received it.
At leats that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I got this nostalgic award from Zilga

Thank you dear blog friend
