006 - special

This is my sixth photo in the BIG Photo ChallengeI 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.
