Winter
Posted by Mirjam (Kyiv, Ukraine) on 19 December 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
Winter in Helsinki, it looks colder that it is. or maybe I am just getting use to it.
We are returning to Ukraine on Monday. We miss the children very much. The children enjoy the winter and snow.
It all started when my husband and I saw wild dogs taking care of the street children.
A question came: "Does these dogs care more for the children, than people do?"
We moved to Ukraine, run a children's home "Friend's House", help children in need, underage mothers ...
I hope that I can learn more from you about photo with the examples here and by getting your feedback on my images.
We invite you to participate in our campaign called “TET” from 1-31 December 2009 Here is an opportunity for you to share of the good, God has given you, to the poorest of the poor; Children, Young mothers and Old people... more www.haver.info

Vilas from Mumbai, India
My god! you are simply great. I have not seen the snow as I am from Bombay India, where through the year we are sweating,no chance to experiance the snow like this. I wonder how you people move in such a condition leave apart taking pictures! and the pic is superb with so many details in it. great job. By the way can your camera work in minus degrees?
20 Dec 2009 9:36am
@Vilas: Cameras operating in the cold is not obvious. Mechanisms may freeze and power supply capacity is reduced dramatically. LCD screens may not work. I try to keep the camera warm as possible,close to my body.
Nina from Haute Loire, France
Superb atmosphere we can imagine exactly how it was in reality!

Crapula Mundi ?? This makes me smile.... What a signature !
20 Dec 2009 12:47pm
@k@: I am also laughing. It's my company name - Social Enterprise. It's Latin and means the pain of the world. In Finnish krapula is simply a hangover- the day after .
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Like the tones and the winter atmosphere. Very unusual with the 3 impressive masts background.

It really looks cold in this photo but as one who has been in the northern part of North America and the Southern part I can say that the warmest cold is in the North!

I really enjoy the contrast of the trolley of the light-rail against the masts of the old sailing ship. (And it looks plenty cold)

Kaikke hyvää sinulle Mirjam ja lapsillesi joulun aikaan ja onnea vuodelle 2010!
Kiitän Sinua myös kommenteistasi sivuillani!
Meidän kuudes lapsenlapsemme sai lauantaina nimen Mikael. Olen ollutkin "täystyöllistetty mummi", mikä on ollut hienoa.
Ehkä kevään mittaan jää enemmän aikaa vierailuille blogeissa ja kuvaamiselle myös :)
Terveiset Ukrainaan, olettekin jo vamaan siellä!
