I have been busy lately, so this is my first upload this year.
Better late than never, so HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone! : )

Took a shopping trip to Savonlinna last Saturday and stopped to take some shots.
It was pretty cold and the wind was freezing...-31 C ( with the wind factor -57 C...) Froze my fingers, naturally : )

This the castle of Olavinlinna.
One of the most well known legends ever told, is the tale of the young maiden, who was immured alive into the castle wall as a punishment for treason.
Later a beautiful rowan tree started growing from the place, where the maiden had been immured. The rowan tree had white flowers which symbolized the girl's innocence and red berries, red as the girl's blood. Is it that tree in the right? Who tells...???

Happy New Year! And with returning! A beautiful foreshortening and a pleasant tonality of a picture. I hope from a strong frost you and your phototechnics have not suffered!
