Love is in the air 

The main street in my hometown of Jakobstad/Pietarsaari, Finland on 25.12.2006. Fortunately a thin coating of snow fell on the ground the same evening which made it a lot more appealing.

The heart is part of the christmas symbols of my hometown, consisting of a cross (faith), an anchor (hope) and a heart (love) that hang over the Main Street and in smaller versions in people's homes.


If I remember correctly, f/8 and a bit over 15 seconds exposure (camera was frozen and thus the shutter a bit stiff). A much better scanner does more justice to this version, had one up at flickr too which was scanned on an old Epson 1640 (no film holder), the Epson V500 I have now is quicker & better.
