Ice sculpture

Water of a river has made a beautiful ice sculpture. The water is dropping some 3 - 4 meters and forming
different shapes of ice. With very cold temperatures the layers of ice are getting thicker and thicker all the time.

Mysterious house

The water of this small river was steaming when the temperature outside was -24 degrees,
It gave a bit of a mysterious feeling.

Ice breaker in action

This small icebreaker is trying to keep the sea open. The sea looks more like a huge cream pie on the moment.

Winter abstract

 

Last week my eye catched this scenery. Any idea what this is?  Please let me know.... 

Milk drops

As I told in the posting before, we did the same experiment also with milk.
Milk and water behaves a little bit different. Milk is a bit thicker then water.
The drops you get are not so exciting as with water. You could almost can say that you get "lazy" drops. But still, the effect is nice.

Water drops

One week ago we did some experiment with two other photographer friends.
We wanted to make pictures from water drops and also some with milk drops.
After building the setup we started to shoot and were hoping to be lucky to catch some drops. You have to try quite many times before you manage to catch them. It's quite nice to see the different shapes of the drops.

More cold days

The winter continues in Finland. This kind of cold weather we have normally in January. Let's see if those scientists from Poland will be right, they said a few months ago that Finland will get the coldest winter ever.....

Islands of ice

Close to our home the river is starting to freeze. On this place the water is floating rapidly and keeps the river partly ice free. Small islands of ice are formed around rocks in the river.

Snowing on just one place?

Two days ago I left home to take some pictures in the harbour. On the way I saw something strange in the woods nearby our home. It was very cold, -20 degrees Celsius and the sun was low in the sky. So it was a clear day, no clouds and sunshine. This is what I saw: it was snowing on a very small area and on a straight line. It was an area of only a few meters broad and about 40 meters long. I have never seen this before and can't explain how this is possible. Snow on a clear day I have seen before. This is what they call in Finland "pakkaslunta" which means that the humidity in the air is changing
to snow or ice during very cold temperatures. So if somebody understands what I saw that day, please let us all know.
