Vattuniemi

Long exposure in Vattuniemi

This week's letter in ABC Wednesday in V.
My last minute choice for the letter is long time exposure from Vattuniemi, southern peak of Lauttasaari, Helsinki. It is pretty typical example about finnish beach in a nighttime.

V in previous rounds of ABC Wednesday:
Valtavaara Hill in Kuusamo
Cafe in Viapori

Hero - Villain

Park drive in Ngorongoro crater

This week's topic in Two 4 Tuesday is Hero - Villain.
I chose this photograph from my honeymoon, when we traveled to Tanzania and visited four national parks (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti) along other activities.
Visitors and park officials in these African National Parks are heroes in a sense that they provide income to local economy, which on its small part gives them reason to maintain and protect these precious parks. On the other hand, there is always risk that people wants to maximize short term revenues and increase tourism beyond the limit that nature can survive, since all these park drives will take their toll on plants etc. If this happens, then we can start wondering if visitors and park officials are villains.
