This picture has been taken in 2013 in Corsica. It shows Ajaccio on the opposite shore, the main capital of this French island. Originally I wanted to further abstract the sky with falling stars but gave it a pass as most people probably don't like that. If you're still interested to see it, head over to my website and have a look.

This hill is called Konttainen and it is one of the most famous hills in Ruka. That fabulous northern "blue moment" light shows best in December when there is only one to two hours of daylight per day

This was my first proper sunrise shoot. I managed to pull myself out of bed at 6am and head to the Calblanque nature reserve to shoot the sunrise from the beach. A very cloudy dull sky stood before me. Typical, i thought. The only time i get up this early to catch a nice sky, and it's cloudy. After nearly giving up and going home, the Sun rose slightly more, shedding some colour to the lower clouds, and managing to break a few rays through. I've read a few times "sometimes you just have to wait", and I'm glad i did.

This picture shows the famous Neuschwanstein Castle of King Ludwig II. Situated near Fussen (Bavaria, Germany) it attracts people from all over the world. You can tour not only the beautiful palace (from the inside as well as the outside) but also the incredible landscape including the Alps and the lake "Alpsee". That's why Neuschwanstein is an overall masterpiece that has to be seen in context of the surrounding nature.
