015 - numbers

This is my 15th photo in the BIG Photo Challenge. The theme of 42nd theme was "Numbers". I took this also in Barcelona (on October 13th) with Canon IXUS 100 IS.

At first I have to say that I have no idea what photo this is... I don't remember that moment at all, haha! Only some posters :-)

012 - orange

This is my 12th photo in the BIG Photo Challenge. I have taken this photo a long time ago with Samsung Digimax S500. The theme of week 39th was "Orange".

This is a typical view in Finland. I told before that fall is really amazing season here with all those colors. It's totally true. So if you will travel to Finland, do it in this time. It's really worth it!  :-)

I took this photo some few years ago (I don't know, maybe 2007 or 2008) when I was visiting at my grandparents. They have just amazing garden. I used to walk barefoot and pick beautiful flowers. I'll never forget when I got lost to their meadow which was full of sunflowers. When I looked up I only saw the sun and amazing flower. I felt like I was in fairytale!

Hope you like this! I really do because every those lovely moments spring to my mind!

P.S. I'm really happy right now. I had the last exam on this morning. Yep, I just had a terrible exam week (luckily the next one is on February 2011!). And now I can write some posts again because I have finally time for you guys! :-)

011- fall

This is my 11th photo in the BIG Photo Challenge. I have taken this photo on September 15, 2010. The photo has taken with Canon IXUS 100 IS.  The theme of 38th week was "Fall". 

Fall is really beautiful in Finland (especially in Lapland) with all those golden, yellow and red leaves. It's also my favorite season. Well, the girl behind umbrella is my nine years old sister. We were photographing fall colors which are really beautiful right now. I like all the colors of this picture from galoshes to leaves. Hope you like it too!

P.S. I'm really exciting right now. On October 1 is my 17th birthday and on October 9.-14. I'm finally in beautiful Barcelona! It has been my biggest dream ever - and it came true! Right now I'm in the seventh heaven :---)

P.P.S. I'm really, really sorry that I'm late with this challenge. I have had some school works so that's why I've been very busy. I'll post those expired posts slowly :-)

010 - doorway

This is my 10th photo in the BIG Photo Challenge. This photo has taken with Canon IXUS 100 IS, on September 15. The theme of 37th week was "Doorways". 

I just took this picture at last week - so, here you are and hope you like it! :-)

004 - summer

This is my fourth photo in the BIG Photo Challenge. This photo has taken with Canon IXUS 100 IS. The theme of this week is "Summer". 

On April I was walking with my little sister. I wanted to took some  pictures of beautiful butterflies because I haven't got them before. Well, we went to a little forest and saw many  butterflies. I haven't seen so many butterflies before! That forest was full of them and I was like in the seventh heaven. My dream came true and my camera filled of photos of beatiful butterflies at the little moment! That butterfly is a small tortoiseshell and they are well-known in Europe. 

It was a very sunny spring day but the theme of this week is "Summer". Well, when I see butterflies and yellow flowers I know that the summertime has started.

P.S. Here, in Finland, the vacation started last week (and it ends on August) and I'm really exciting about that!.

P.P.S. Does anyone watch FIFA World Cup? And which is your favorite team? :-)

003 - new

This is my third photo in the BIG Photo Challenge. This photo has taken with Canon IXUS 100 IS. The theme of this week is "New".

My elder brother graduated his dual qualification ("kaksoistutkinto" in Finnish) yesterday. Dual qualification means that he completed his vocational school and Finnish gymnasium (which is quite different than in UK or USA) at the same time. So, now his career is automation mechanich or electrician. He is also an abitur (I'll graduate to abitur in spring of 2012). My brother participated to four tests: mother tongue (Finnish), foreign language (English), mathematics (ordinary level) and physics (advanced level).

Here, in Finland, is tradition to give that student cap to abitur. That is a mark that you have completed Finnish high school. However the most important thing is that he has a career which he like!

I hope you got my point because those words (especially dual qualification) were really difficult to write. I'm sorry :-)
