Well, the time just flies when you're flying, too! I started this year's summer vacation early and flew to my beautiful country of birth.
When other parts of Europe were shivering of cold, Finland was sunbathing and loving it. The beginning of the summer was just gorgeous - for over two weeks the sun kept on shining. In the summer in Finland, people shed their dull, thick winter coats also metaphorically, and start livin' it up!
Summer is also the time of celebration. We had the honour to celebrate our beloved grandma, who turned 80 in the beginning of June. A respectable age!
A stormy sky as a back drop and the sun shining from the back gives such a vivid image that is every photographer's dream setting! :)
