    I think they're beautiful and have no complaint about this thread. However, are we allowed to do such personal threads unrelated to literature? That would be cool if we are.

    Absolutely. Look at the subforum titles and post away.

    Very nice stuff, North Star.

    Edit: If photography's your thing, you might also like this thread.

    Amazing shots North Star!
    The single subject offers infinite possibilities.
    The 1st image, second row on your flikr site, has similar characteristics to one of my favorite photographs; Ansel Adams "Moonrise Over Hernandez", assuming yours is the moon or is it a heavily filtered sun?

    beautiful.

    beautiful.
    It's the sun, in very early hours of the day - the sun barely sets there in the summer months. Moonrise Over Hernandez is a classic, of course.

    You have made me see landscapes over water differently after looking at your flickr album. I agree with Lykren about how the second one above stands out.

    Lake Kitka is half-way between the head of the Gulf of Bothnia in the west and the White Sea in the east. Worth looking up in an internet map like google maps. Beautiful photos, especially the middle one. Thank you North Star!

    Simply gorgeous. Finland has so much natural beauty, and you've really managed to capture its meditative qualities.
    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
