~ Fantastic Finland ~
I used G+ effect hdr-scape and b&w to make the creature in the clouds to stand out better. Quite a figure, isn’t it! :)
~ Reflected ~
A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.

~ Rautaketju ~ Iron chain tastes your back You laugh at the pain, the sun is shining Blood streams down your back Devil screams out for God Steel beats, anger grows It gives the machinery control Blood boils and develops a face And the Devil screams out for God Who gave birth to evil? Who invented power and money? Who helps him to this world leads the hoofed overlord? Swear word Axe Horror Lewd and horny people's song Artist: Turmion Kätilöt

~ Mourn ~ Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterward remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

~ El Viking ~ The scream of swords, The clash of shields, These are true words, On battlefields, The warlord weaves, His web of fear Each man receives, His fated share A blood red sun, Is a warriors shield The eagle scans, The battlefield. As edges swing, Blades cut men down. Erik the King, Earns his renown. Break not the spell, But silent be: To you I'll tell, Their bravery: At clash of kings, On carrion-field The red blade swings, At blue-stained shield. When swords anoint, What man is saved? Who gets this point, Is deep engraved: And men like oak, From Odin's tree, Few words they spoke, At that iron-play.
