006 - special

This is my sixth photo in the BIG Photo Challenge. I have taken this photo on August, 2008. The photo has taken with my first own camera (Samsung Digimax S500).  The theme of 25th week was "Special". I wondered a long time what can I introduce with this theme. 

Well, I was sailing on the Baltic with my family and cousins. It was a really beautiful and sunny day.  I remember that day when I'm older. I've ever been sailing before that day and it was something special to me. We beached  to a fishermen's island here, in Finland (well, those people spoke Swedish because Finland is a bilingual country). That island, Gullkrona, was really beautiful and idyllic island with a smell of smoked fish (I love that smell! Does anyone else?). It was like a paradise!  When we came back, is saw that sailing. It's my namesake, it's also Mirella. It's a first namesake I have ever seen because my name is unusual in Finland. 

P.S. Here is a photo which I've taken from that island.
P.S. For Finnish people: Täällä on tietoa tuosta lumoavasta saaresta, saari sijaitsee siis Turun saaristossa. Valitettavasti saareen ei ole enää avointa pääsyä :-(
P.S. I'm really sorry that this post is quite late. We haven't had an Internet connection during two weeks.

002 - water

This is my second photo in the BIG Photo Challenge. This photo has taken with Canon IXUS 100 IS. The theme of this week, "Water", is what I love.

This photo is from Naantali which is a idyllic city in south-western Finland near by the Baltic. It's also one of the most important tourist centers of Finland. I have lived there about ten first years in my life until we moved away. This city is always in my heart and it has     a huge effect on me and I'll never forget my time there. So, water is a peace of my life and it's really important thing in my life.

I just love that place! Maybe I'll move there when I have grown-up. If you sometimes visit in Finland, visit there. It's really worth it!

P.S. Did you know that Moomin World theme park is located in the city? I have been there many times in my childhood.
