Heike Odermatt - Ruska Eika

 

Last week I was photographing the Ruska Eika in Finnish Lapland. The weather was not so good for beautyfull colors, it was too warm. When I came to the river I saw some colored leaves from the beeches lying in the water.
With a long shuttertime I created these patterns with water and leaves.

    I think you meant "Ruska aika", which is the saying for autumn colors in Finnish. You have a great eye for such abstract compositions.

    A long exposure different than usual. An image that transmits calmness and serenity. I like the stillness of the leaves under water in contrast to the current flowing. A great moment in nature!
