Posted by blackhawk These pictures make me glad it's 49 F and only raining here! #Still Standing Tall, what was that? Is that a pumping station below? That's crazy cool

Hey, it's not more than -8 Celsius (here now 18 F) now. And back then it was just like -5 Celsius. But I can understand, especially because my hands and feets freeze immediately.
I suppose it is some kind of transformer tower? Electricity related stuff? At least those white porcelain things are fuses as far as I understand. And if you mean that white brick building, it is electric power station.
Thank you very much.
Posted by randomesquephoto Cool! I like seeing other people's snow pictures, and not have to experience it!

I can understand that, there is a point. Says one "no matter summer or winter, outside or inside - I'm bloody freezing!" guy.
Posted by Furious D I feel cold just looking at these pictures. The last few are really cool. I love the frosty bits on the machinery.

I'm so happy too that I did get there. It's quite small place, and I've been photographing it sooo many times so I did feel little... you know, is it worth of walking through all that snow etc. But then there... magic did hit immediately; how bloody amazing place this really is! And when finally entering to that power station - those frozen machines especially; how beautiful can metal be? Amazing.
And still I'm feeling that they could be catch in photos so much better. But that is one nice thing when photographing - you can't never ever be perfect. Just like my life all the way - far away from perfect.
Posted by MisUnderstood! Im with Randomesquephoto, Love the look but awfully glad its sunny and near 60 degrees here in Texas. I wouldnt want to experience this every winter. But. i must say how truly lovely your snow and ice shots are. Love 1 and 2. My fave is Frozen Metal. i keep looking at that shot and imagining what it would look like when it thaws out, all wet and drippy.

Bloody hell, how lucky you are! It's should fall down to 5 F here soon, now it is just 17 F (and we are just going to walk 1km to pub and then of course same back later at night).
But hey, this is one thing I really love in Finland. 4 completely different seasons, at summer warm and light and no night... and winter this coldness and short days when light looks so damned beautiful... I probably wouldn't change that (even I'm freezing all the time).
Yeah, wouldn't be bad idea to catch that moment too.
