Season of Summer Light Week 21, Saturday - Tree Climbing
"One of the great things in family life are summers. From the day your first child is born every summer is very different from others because of different age, skills and plays. In last summer, when Aura was one year old, we spent quite a lot time at the sandbox making sand cakes, castles and all sort of that. While she still likes to do all that, this summer has already started very differently. Aura has developed a pretty strong urge for climbing and you would be surprised to see much there are possibilities for it everywhere we go. [...]"
One picture from yesterday I took in Turkey. Taken with the Rokinon/Samyang 12mm. It's been getting lots of use in Turkey so I'm glad to have gotten it!
Time to gather some votes. I have a picture where I'm wondering about setting the horizon. In the picture, the pillar is straight (which I think is what it was in reality) but the horizon looks crooked. Should I put the horizon straight instead (and the pillar will be slughtly crooked0

Season of Summer Light Week 22, Wednesday - Ice-cream
"To understand Finnish summer you need to learn how obsessed Finnish people are with ice-cream. Because Finnish summer is so short and because it's reasonably warm only in that time of the year in Finland, people want to express it by eating cold ice-cream. The hotter it is the more you need to eat it. I understand that same kind of thinking may exist in other countries too, but since our summer is so short Finnish people need to overstate it by (over)eating ice-cream on this short season when it actually makes sense temperature wise.

Season of Summer Light Week 22, Saturday - Children's slide
"As I've already explained earlier, one of my objectives for this season is to take summer pictures of Aura. It sounds a bit more straightforward than it actually is in my head. You see, the thing is that I already have a history of taking summer pictures of Aura and I feel it is, in some ways, limiting to my photography. You cannot see this history by looking photos through my photo blog, but if you followed me a bit longer, you probably already know that I have habit of making pretty static pictures. Photographing events or something happening is, for some reason, harder for me. [...]"
