Today was a bright day, a little bit of cloud cover but not too thick. Here are some photographs from Pitkäkoski, "Long Rapids", of the river Vantaa. There is plenty of snow, although the depth of it has decreased thanks to compression. It was quite a change to have so much sunlight - I have been using exposure lenghts of 1/2 second, today I used 1/1000 second.

Update: Speaking of fast exposures, this is something else: "Professor Anne L'Huillier of Lund University in Sweden has been awarded one of five L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Awards for 2011. She won the award 'for her work on the development of the fastest camera for recording events in attoseconds (a billionth of a billionth of a second),' her citation read."
