Google does Finnish. And well. Cool. (I figured using Finnish would add to the mystery of the image. It also seemed fitting since the Finns still, I think, consume the most coffee per capita in the world.)

I chose the split toning and adjusted clarity in the top half of the image in an effort to evoke the Northern Lights, though I know it really doesn't look like them. It was a thought, though.

Anyway, I'm glad you like the photo!

One can't help noticing that alpine skiers that live in the same hotel work with a different budget when looking at all the gear in waxing room

A maintenance crew would also make it all look so much more professional...

K1ii & M50/1.4 wide open:

18 degrees and frosty this morning! Hoping these shots communicate some of the feeling of this chilly morning in Ohio.

Yes, it does look frosty there! Things were nippy and a bit white outside here in Wisconsin, too, but I had other things I needed to tend to. Glad you got out with your gear, though!

You can have a very meaningful conversation with one these...

K-7 with DA* 50-135

Bee bokeh. I can't recall the name of this plant, but the honey bees absolutely swarm it when it blooms.

This one is Cogon grass (Japanese blade grass). It's invasive and will take over a lot of area in short order if not controlled, but the bees love it.

Not really a bokeh shot, but the result for us
