The Bison & Dall Sheep Adventures
I visited Helsinki (I'm living at the field station now) over the weekend to get some things fixed and to meet friends. These things were planned, the following was not: spending most of my Saturday dragging northern American animals around downtown Helsinki. Why? To make people aware that the museum of natural history reopens after a 2.5-year renovation. And I'm pretty sure it worked. Me with the Dall Sheep Ovis dalli The American Bison Bison bison On the boulevard Encounters.. The Downtown Sheep Ika and the sheep waiting for green light.. Lunch time (after looking for a place to park the animals..)!

Crossing streets was among the most exciting parts.. .. but as far as I know, there were no reports of collisions with a bison/dall sheep in the papers the next day. We weren't alone in trying to get people's attention.. Superman was there, and so was santa. At the train station Among crazy, shopping people. The group - I'm the scary one in sunglasses. Bringing them back home.. Home!

Nerdy, you're not scary!
Looks like you had a great time. I wonder what I would have thought if I had seen you all walking around with dead animals in tow...

Hehe.. Nice reactions, people.
And G_W, I'm looking forward to that! Why you have to rival my photography I'm not sure I understand, though..

It's the same rock, but not always take from the same spot.

Very nice photos indeed, GW. I really like the first one as well as the second, but I would've tried to get one of the trees without the road showing. The two trees in front of the endless ocean melting into the sky is very powerful, but is distracted by the asphalt.
(PS. tell me if the critique is unwanted - it's just a reflex X)

Dear Nerd - thanks for ur critique - which is always good to get (it makes for progress in one's work). Thanks again.
Unfortunately I dont have a program good enough to crop it - would you be so kind and help me. I only have paint at the moment - will hopefully get Elements from one of my Photoclub buddies. Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 05-08-2008 at 08:59 AM. |

This didn't turn out exactly as I wanted it to, but this is a bit like I meant.. So everyone, this is GW's photo, not mine.
