Let me introduce you to Kilpisjärvi. Within a hundred kilometers to the Norwegian border, the scenery changes drastically....
Street-art in Pasila, a colorful labyrinth
East-Pasila, I'm really glad they gave this district to street artists. It has a good pedestrian infrastructure, but the gray houses look so depressing. Well, not anymore. Now it is home to different pieces of street art scattered all around the place.
Pure versatility, Canon RF 35mm F/1,8 IS review for travel photography (ver. 1.0)
Canon RF 35mm F/1.8 IS, how good is that lens? There no short answer, good, but not without its quirks. It is probably the most versatile prime lens I've owned. I would argue that its versatility makes it better than a prime lens.
Labirynth of frozen trees, Riisitunturi in pictures
"Rice Mountain", that is the meaning of Riisitunturi in the Finnish language. I guess the name was the reason I've chosen this place to see the famed Lappish white trees.

Have you ever thought about visiting it at night? I think it is totally out of the regular bucket list, but it is one of the coolest things to do in Porvoo.

Lofoten Islands in pictures …at COVID-19 time
Snowy mountain peaks next to colorful miniature ships, there is no place like Norway. The world knows higher mountains that impress with their sheer size, but they miss the long-lived, fascinating marine culture. Lofoten Islands is an archipelago that has it all, concentrated in quite a small area. It stands out even among other world-famous Norwegian sights.
Shining Rainbow, Aputure MC Review for Travel Photography
Aputure MC, this on-camera light can perform any color, and it comes with a softbox, which makes it well defused for portraits. This miniature thing became my permanent travel companion. In this post, I will explain why. I will tell what kind of value it can bring to a travel photographer and more. Here is my Aputure AL-MC review.
