"Skywatchers" - up towards the sky
Posted by Leena (Joensuu, Finland) on 5 September 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
You can see all skywatchers of this Friday HERE
and you can also participate with your own photo by putting your address in that same page, if you like.
My photo is taken in the middle of the lake Pyhäselkä, which is part of a big lake system Saimaa. It is the largest lake in Finland, it has 33,000 islands and a shoreline of more than 50,000 kilometres. Plenty of places for summer cottages :)
You can read more about Saimaa and many things about Finland from pages of Virtual Finland HERE
Have a rewarding Friday with Skywatchers and other fine photos!
Thank you very much for your visits and comments !

Thank you for stopping by!
This is only a small part of the huge black-headed gull`s community.
It was a small island, but it was full of nests.
Very good thing, that this noisy community is located faraway from people`s community :)

Lots of "lakegulls", it seems that seagulls prefer the lakes nowadays as great cormorants !

Was the sound deafening? I love to be by the water. This would be a breathtaking sight and sound and feeling.
Enjoy your weekend, Leena.
