Two-Years Ago (07-August-2014) — Finland

Gone to See Europe 2014. Day 68: Semester at Sea, Summer 2014 Semester Voyage. Reindeer and Santa Claus Field Trip to Rovaniemi, Finland.

Late at night (04:43) they finally found an empty berth on the sleeper car on the overnight train from Helsinki to Rovaniemi. I got to share a sleeper berth with the picture of a Dog rather than a Bed. Image taken with a Leica X2 camera (ISO 400, 24 mm, f/2.8, 1/30 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 7, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.

I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.
