The Storm in Helsinki

It was a little bit windy on the Christmas Time - actually stormy - in Helsinki an also on the other part of Finland. Electricity was broken on many areas, boats had difficulties, trafic jammed by broken trees etc.. I visited on the beach of Uunisaari and took some water pictures. The worst storm was already over but I saw waves enough. Normaly we have a lot of snow at christmas time but not on this year.

Some evening pictures

Last night I was looking evening trafic here in Helsinki area.

The dark autumn

Now its very dark time in Finland. It is quite rainy and it means that the short daytime have only weak light under the clouds. In these pictures the shutter time is quite long - as you can see.
