Last Photo Challenge- Best of the best

So here we are, the last The Daily Post Photo Challenge. It’s been a good run. I started the challenge in January 2014. Here are my All-time favourite photos.

This was my first ever photo I posted for the challenge. It might not be my best work but it was memorable. It’s morning in Stockholm and it was my mother last cruise. She passed away in 2013.

This photo was my most popular. Actually, most popular ever on this blog. It’s taken with a macro lens. It’s a sunflower.

Last but not least. My favourite. It’s a ski trip in Lapland. It was a time when cancer wasn’t even close to our family. I like it because I manage to catch movement which is not the easiest to photograph.

So there you have it. Such a shame The Daily Post decided to end this great photo challenge. Among others. So thank you again.

Out in the cold

Today (March 2) it was about minus 6 Celsius and this guy walk outside with shorts and a T-shirt. It really is out of this world. This is just too funny I couldn’t stop laughing.

Snow in April

Long time, no see. Yesterday (Saturday 15) we had snow and it’s April. A surprise indeed but that’s Finland for you. Never know what kind of spring there will be. The snow has now melted though.

Just when you thought spring is here

Spring has sprung?

Not today

Today the spring should arrive but we get snow. Some like it, some don’t. Personally I don’t mind at all. There’s not been enough of snow here this winter anyway. Besides snow is beautiful ❤ And you can’t fight with Mother Nature, can you?!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Perspective

Varkaankuru, Ylläs Ski Resort

This is taken in 2011. It’s from a ski resort in Finnish Lapland. It’s more steep than it looks. And it’s also quite narrow in the beginning. I’ve slalom skied since I was 6 (once a year at least) but it took me years to found courage to go downhill from this place. The end of the hill it’s just straight down without having to turn. Just enjoy with the wind in your hair. This is the last time I skied and it was also my mother’s last trip to Lapland before she got sick. We went to there almost every year and a few times in the summer. It was our tradition since I was 2 months old. Of course I started to ski much later.
