Description Referring to the Finnish epic Kalevala, about a swan lives in the Tuoni river located in Tuonela, the underworld realm of the dead. According to the story, whoever killed a swan would perish as well. Jean Sibelius composed the LemminkΓ€inen Suite based on Kalevala, with the second piece entitled Swan of Tuonela (Tuonelan joutsen)

by editing it i used the infrared filter a several times. it has the effect that it stresses the white light and makes things look glowing ^^

Yes, and I like it so much. Though I've read it only in english 'cause I don't know finnish (just a couple of random words )
Actually next week I'll read an essay I wrote about Kalevala and an Amorphis CD. Do you know that band?

when i saw the swans i was thinking of you and that you likem so much. so i had to make that shot . i was very close and they started hissing a bit, but that wasnt detering me. they got some bread in return and were happy.
