Hi.. The Roe deers in last evening near our capital Helsinki, about 40 kilometres to west. They ate blueberries and heathers (Calluna vulgaris) inside the forest. Lauri

Later in the evening there was no visibility at all. But bokeh was good :-D S-AF Handheld. Lauri

Hi All The sea fog rose surprisingly fast yesterday, just over a quarter of hour from the first fog clouds until visibility disappeared completely. Lauri
