From Kokkola's Patamäki, the city lights and trees were longingly ahead in the east. I still set up the camera and was already giving up hope. In the 80s, I saw several launches from the window of my own room, which was in just the right direction. To my surprise, the rocket appeared among the light pollution of the city and traveled through the sky at a fairly high speed towards the west. There was a lot of snow at the shooting location and that, together with the congealed oils on the tripod, caused unnecessary fuss. However, the view was wonderful and luckily I was able to take pictures...

A wonderful autumn and clear day. I observed the eclipse from Kokkola's Harriniemi. I was hoping for thin clouds as a filter, but the weather remained really clear, so shooting without a filter was quite challenging.
Mirage

While preparing to photograph the partial solar eclipse, I noticed a funny looking mirage at sea. The rocks/reef in the far sea seemed to be floating or hovering over the sea.

I tried to photograph the green flash but I'm not sure if this is one. At least this goes for the green edge. A very warm air flow and photographing close to the surface of the water brings out these green tones.

At the end of a nice warm summer night and campfire trip, the clouds parted and the wonderful night clouds appeared. Photographed with a mobile phone and by hand.

The old water tower of Kokkola rises right next to my house. At its top is a remote-controlled camera that anyone can use to admire pre-determined views. The half-shadow eclipse that happened in the morning happened to be seen in the same picture as the Kokkola windmills. So the image is a screenshot.

Funnel cloud

Joni Virtanen
At the end of a very long period of heat, small showers and a few thunderstorms arrived from the hinterland. The side of one powerful front showed a funnel-shaped shape. Added dehaze and clarity to the picture for a clearer view.

The smoke from the Kalajoki wildfires passed with the wind around our cottage and towards Kokkola. For an hour the landscape was very hazy and the sun with its clouds created stunning rays of smoke.
Arcus cloud

The low roar of the front was already heard hours before it arrived on the coast of Kokkola. I followed the front from the rain radar and concluded that this is a fairly powerful case. We decided to leave the cottage home and took these pictures just before leaving the cottage beach. The avalanche was a really impressive revelation and the experience was gorgeous! It might have made more sense to stay at the cottage, as after a while the visibility was almost non-existent. It rained heavily on the sky, with thumb-sized granules among it. There was quite a fuss inside the car and I was afraid t...

Here’s a slightly more artistic view of the eclipse. ND1000 filter, two exposures and Photoshop.

Snow in the morning, rain in the evening. The sun shone through the narrow slit just before setting and formed a fine and high arc in the sky.

Great start to August. On the sea low the orange moon, a few starbursts and these illuminate: the best of August!

I set out to photograph the pollen ring. I didn’t see that but the setting sun gave a green flash. A slight hazy hint was noticeable from that dust but as a hoop I didn’t see it.

Penumbral lunar eclipse

Great clear weather, no wind or hard frost. Visually not very dramatic but all in all after a long cloudy experience a great experience.
Pearl clouds

A small strip of clouds unexpectedly revealed itself as pearls. The strong wind caused the cloud to be spectacular for a fairly short time.
