I’m trying to learn how to draw eyes.
I cut these eyes from a magazine and tried to copy them with a soft pencil.
Huh, not easy but I’m not giving up.
More coming later! 
It’s dark outside.
In Helsinki we have daylight from 9:15 am till 3:15 pm.
At the end of the month from 9:25 am till 3:30 pm.
31st of December is the first longer day – 9:24 am till 15:22 pm.
Extra light needed.
We have LED candles on day and night!
Nice shadows, right?!
Starting this year 8th of December was a Flag Day to honor
birthday (8.12.1865) of composer Jean Sibelius and the Day of Finnish Music.
I loooove Sibelius’s music.
Finlandia is long (about 8 minutes) but worth every second.
Hope you like it too!
Have a relaxing weekend!

Thank you!
We had terrible storm today, should be over by tomorrow…brrrr…
Eyes are elusive! I can’t do better than you!! So keep it up. I was at a concert and heard Finlandia played. So I have bought a cd with Jussi Makkonenon cello and Rait Karn on piano. Thanks for the lovely memories.

Eyes are not easy to capture, remember that in most people the space between the eyes is the same width as an eye.
I am very fond of Sibelius.

Your artistry is beautiful. The drawn eyes are expressive, the emotion we see well. Nice!
We complain of our short days, but 15:15 is an hour less than us. At least in the summer, your days are so much longer. Sweet and sour must coexist…
Helsinki is such a beautiful city – at day or night!

I like the subtle shadows in the street scene!
IF I WERE A SHADOW
If I were a shadow,
I would seek the light;
There I would glow sleekly,
Black and shiny bright!

That’s right-I don’t stop to think how short your days are. No wonder why folks look forward to the winter solstice! Beautiful night/LED shots!
If no one picks up hosting SSS, I will still post my shadows as I have done for so many years. I do have an ‘email subscribe’ on my blog, so if you want automatic notification of my SSS posts, sign up for that. I don’t post everyday, usually twice a week. If you visit me, I will surely visit you (but we have to leave comments so that we know we were by).

Despite your lack of light, you’ve managed to find some wonderful shadows! I think I would have trouble with the cold and dark.
You’ve done a very good job with the eyes.

Happy Flag Day! And may your days and nights be bright from the glow of friends and love, not just LED lights. I live near the equator, and I miss the ebb and flow of dark and light.
I didn’t realize Finland had such short days in the winter. I would have lights burning all the time too.

Loving the shadows.

Yep, eyes are tricky, but you’re doing very well. I can’t imagine such short days. I remember complaining of being sent to bed when the sun was still out during the summer when I lived further north. I guess you have super long days in the summer too?

Here in NL we have probably two more hours of light every day. At 4:30 pm it’s already dark and at 5 pitch dark. I’m finding it difficult to put up with. The lights in the house never seem to be bright enough so that means that as of 4, I can’t really do any house chores bec. I can’t see what I’m doing. Add this to the fact that I’ve just come back from a place where daylight is too much to bare bec. it’s closer to the Equator and it’s summer now, and you have a very confused Aledys
Love your pictures!
Cheers!
