Pretty catpics and a simply amazing sunset, and nice pics over all, as usual, my friend.

I might bomb this thread with some colourful photos tonight and tomorrow. You've been warned.

The Chinese New Year was celebrated in Helsinki, and I was fortunately there with my camera. It was a great celebration, far too few people had heard about it.. The performers brought much-needed colour and energy to gray Helsinki. It was beautiful. As you might notice, the performers were great subjects too, but so were their shadows. I had so much fun developing these. 8)

Beware of your shadow..

More shadows..

There were also some puppeteers..

.. and some martial arts performers.

Grey_Wolf · 01-27-2009, 12:55 AM

Marvellous, Nerd!

***Jonathan*** · 01-27-2009, 02:18 AM

Looking forward to a colourful bombardment then

Shadow performing is cool.

Nerdanel · 01-27-2009, 04:50 AM

Thanks, guys

Here are a couple more to begin the day with..

(to be fair, this one is not very colourful in the traditional sense of the word..

)

more martial artists..

this guy looked like he was dancing.. beautiful stuff.

the happy dancers - and that's it for a while..

**Mari** · 01-27-2009, 05:16 AM

Oh! Nice!
Fascinating, isn't it? All the different arts and clothes? At my university in Japan, we had cultural weeks organized by the people of a particular country. I think China has about 27 different traditional clothes, for all different tribes and areas!
Thanks for sharing, Nerdy!

Nerdanel · 01-27-2009, 05:24 AM

Quite fascinating, yeah!

It was great to have in the rain and cold of Helsinki.. It got a bit cold at some point X)

Glad to share!

***Earniel*** · 01-27-2009, 07:18 AM

Looked like quite a show! The ones with the adapted shadows are really special. Nicely done, Nerdy.

Nerdanel · 01-27-2009, 08:21 AM

It was a great show, yeah.

Thanks!

***Jonathan*** · 01-27-2009, 01:08 PM

I'm also fascinated by the fantastic quality and artistry of the photos (as I always am when it comes to your pics

). Look at the whip guy for instance. You really caught him in the moment, with whining whip and flapping clothes - and no motion blur whatsoever.

Nerdanel · 01-27-2009, 06:42 PM

Thanks a lot, Jon! That's really nice to hear.

Nerdanel · 02-03-2009, 07:47 AM

hi all.. here i am again, with some new photos.. X) first one from western finland on a cold and foggy morning:

i don't know if anyone remembers, but i was in morocco in october and whilst there, i attended a wedding (it was actually at the farm where i stayed, my friend's brother got married). here are a couple of photos from that event..

as the married couple put it: "that's.. a creepy photo".

the dads.

**Mari** · 02-03-2009, 08:06 AM

Do you have a pic of the marrying couple that you are willing or able to share as well? I'm curious as to how they will be dressed.
Those dolls look erm... very Western. It somehow doesn't fit the background. It's like Japanese people getting married in Western get-up in a shrine... >_<

Nerdanel · 02-04-2009, 06:37 AM

hehe, yeah.. it's a bit cheesy. i have quite a few photos from the wedding, i'll post a couple more.

the bride is american, though, so her wedding dress was quite traditionally western.. although for the more moroccan traditions that followed the wedding ceremony itself she wore something else. i'll see what i can find.

this is my current background.. just to show how egocentric i am..

the photo is from the trip to morocco, the text is the beginning of one of my poems (http://www.entmoot.com/showpost.php?...&postcount=395)..

Grey_Wolf · 02-22-2009, 02:16 PM

Taken with my new cellphone's camera last weekend.

Nerdanel · 02-23-2009, 07:11 PM

you.. have a pretty good camera on your phone, g_w. o.O

Nerdanel · 02-23-2009, 07:18 PM

went to the reptile house again.. 8) so, just a few shots from there. many of the snakes seemed to be in mating mood - apparently the young black mambas were breeding every day for the past week. black mamba babies - oh my..

green mambas.. they look cool in b/w..

big pythons;

again;

and again.

the puffadder, one of the most dangerous snakes in the world.. they do look quite scary.

one beautiful rat snake.. iirc.

yum!

and to some non-reptilians:

scorpion reching for the light,

the queen, amira.

I went to the University museum in Helsinki yesterday, and thought I'd try some new perspectives..

a mighty horn..

history.

can you hear the drilling sound inside your head? 8)

(ok, i grant you this isn't very new..)

chamomile

anise

brownjenkins · 03-10-2009, 10:27 PM
