Lumikatsaus ... Snow watch

Helmikuun nimi lienee selvä kun katselee joitakin näistä kuvista. Helmiäisen hohtoa kun lumessa on aurinkoisella ilmalla.

The name of February in finnish translates to pearl month. Why it's called this probably has its roots in how the snow glissens like pearls when the sun comes out.

Sky Watch Friday N:o 29 - From Russia with love

Should you wonder about the title this week it has a reason and it is...

Tonight after work I was very tired due to a couple of nights partial insomnia. After having walked and fed the dogs and a few household chores I crashed on the sofa in front of the telly. Next thing I know is I come to life with my head on the cushions to a familiar tune. Dum dum du du dum dum dum. Dum dum du du dum dum dum. Taadaa tadaa. The Bond film 'From Russia with love' with the still one and only Sean Connery was just starting. This made me think of my picture video of my lovely Ljuba, a russian rescue, with the same title.

The skies have been rather non descipt lately but tonigth it was clear and many stars were twinkling above. This is due to winds from the east, ie. Russia, bringing colder and clearer wheather in their toll.

So the title has a double meaning.

There is a few sky shots this week too but I felt it would be nice to post a video as well this week. Even if it does feature my rescue girl it has a few glimpsies of sky in the background, so it's not completely unapropriate for this meme either.

First to a few moods from the past week.

Photobucket
Very, very grey even with lighter stripe at the tree line. Here is a channel between islands and there ususally is a bit of a stream and constant under current. Due to this the water is not frozen all over. I took the shot standing on a bridge.

Photobucket
Still grey but slightly brighter. A hooded crow is parching on one of the birch tree branches.

Photobucket
A blue(ish) moment

Photobucket
The wind makes a tear in the clouds for a little while.

Photobucket
Yesterday the sky at dusk took on a nice pink tone

Then to the main reason for this week's title:
