Sunrise

Last night we stayed up till 3:30 am to go watch the sunrise. (For those who are unfamiliar with this: in summer sun sets in Finland about 11 pm and, for example as last night, might rise at 4:18 am. In the north of Finland it simply stays up all the time, and in winter in the contrary doesn't rise at all because it's more to the north than the polar circle.) Unfortunately, as we jumped on in our bikes, we could not find a place with no buildings, trees or ugly power lines between the sun and my camera. So there were no amazing pictures taken, but here are three I took that are not exactly under the title.

Anyway, this experience was a learning possibility for me, as I could have planned better and thought about a couple of things before getting the camera and leaving: first to check where the sun rises and second to notice that in that specific direction there are not clear views near of where I live. Or I could have reserved more time to look for one. But let's just learn from our mistakes!

The first and second pics are the same place with different settings, but I kind of like both of them, the second one looking more accurate with the colors.
