These photographs were taken on December 22nd, during snowfall. Today we have so far got about 5 cm of new snow, and the temperature has risen to +1 °C. Some rain is promised, and tomorrow the temperature will be at +3 °C, so it will be quite wet outside. Flu is such a bother, it would be great to go out and take photographs in the snowy landscape as long it lasts.

Here are photographs taken at a nearby pond. I went there with my daughter to see the ducks. And they were eager to see us.

Here are more photographs I took yesterday in the center of Helsinki, walking there with my daughter. There were a couple of spots where the sea ice had melted away at Töölö Bay, and dozens or maybe hundreds of ducks were there. Quite a racket. And later when we walked accross the railway station it felt the same, dozens of people packed close together, waiting for trains. I'm not really a city person.

Today was a busy day, of meetings, discussions, and writing. After commuting by bicycle (and eating a lot) I went out walking with my daughter, who was keen to have a look at ducks. It was a warm day, up to 24 °C, and so it is predicted of tomorrow also. But on Friday we may have rain, finally.
I had a look at the Panasonic LX7 review at DC Resource, and rather positive it is concerning the image quality: "The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 produces some of the best quality photos of any compact camera out there. [...] Detail smudging is not a problem at low ISOs, which is not the case on the majority of compact cameras these days. The LX7 keeps noise under control through ISO 400 in low light, and ISO 1600 in good light, which is certainly better than your typical compact."
The reviewer noted some usability problems with the control wheel (it is the same with the LX5), so not all things were positive. But as the LX7 has a separate aperture ring, for me the problems with the control wheel wouldn't matter so much as with the LX5.
