I'm not a flower photographer Ronny but I am fond of the rose pic.
Frezeiss ...that last pic, the colours are stunning and so is the pic.
Th abandoned school. Its funny but I always wondered how it was that archeological digs could include so many items that were once treasured and are simply left in the dirt.
It looks like the world ended and everyone forgot to tell me, not a pic posted for a whole day and this thread pushed to the bottom of the page.
I really like that OneAnt! Good composition, fascinating subject and nice textures.
Here's a shot from April when we still had snow (looong winter this year), then one of our local heating plant on a day with amazing light and clouds. Both ZE 35/1.4.
Gary, thanks you! Nice close up with the 35, really like the bokeh.
Ronny thanks! Right now I'm unable to see pics from flickr or any hosting site, stupid company policy..arghh
Ant, Thanks.. it seems your picture is getting more unique by the day, are they shadows? Agree on the where is everybody part.. I've never seen this thread in the bottom of the first place, let alone be in the 2nd page.
Bob, really dramatic colors, even I typically prefer realism, these were enjoyable to watch
Frezeiss, great colors on "Diyarbakir, Turkey"-shot, washed out like in old color movie or something

Bob, beautiful colors in that shot.
Philippe, very nice work again
frezeiss, I like the slightly desaturated look in that portrait.
Helena, you got some great light and I like the composition
OneAnt, very nice
Samuli, nice pics. Great clarity.
Samuli -- Nice shots, as usual. I like the trail in many of them.
Geography question: I notice most of the trees look very young, like new growth, but I don't see any stumps from logging, or burned trunks to indicate forest fire. What explains the lack of mature trees and the sparseness of the new growth? Or is this a small/slender variety of pine?

Our pine doesn't grow as big as some American variants. This kind of ridges are sand based (I would assume less rich and dry growing ground than usual soil). There were some fallen trees but not visible on these pictures, these are quite old trees for Finnish forest. At school I slept all biology and geography lessons, and now 20 years later I wish I would have paid more attention to that stuff at the time there was free top quality education available...
Posting this from iPad, so this time no link to larger image (if you want to see just replace 972 with 2048 in jpg file filename)... Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1,4/50 @ f/4, 1/80, ISO 100
