I started to keep this blog in 2003 as I had a lot of friends and
contacts that had practically no idea about how it really looked
here in the peripheries. A couple of years I created a lot of
panoramic pictures, until in late 2009 video quality become
decent with faster bandwidths.

I'm a self taught photographer and visual artist, living since 1989
in a former fishing village named Makholma on the Finnish west
coast by the Bothnian Sea.

If you want pictures or videos with better quality or resolution,
please take contact.
