Default Vacation in northwest Russia.

Hi there! Recently, i was on a vacation. I had a trip over some lakes in Karelia region. It's in Russia. And of course now i've got some photos. This is my favorite ones. You can find other shots in my flickr. So what do you think about it?

In my opinion, the last three shots are stunningly beautiful. You sure have an eye for photography

So nicely done, I love the last three, the first one reminds me of all the mosquito bites I've gotten over time. Thanks for sharing these.

That 'skeeter has a belly full of someone's blood- hopefully not yours. Fine shots.

The bug looks like he could leave a painful bite! But the last 3 are beautiful. Looks like a wonderful place to take a trip.

All are great, but I like the second one best. The sky is so blue and the reflection is clear. Thanks for sharing.

I hate mosquitos, but you've done a great job on capturing Why I hate mosquitos!!!
I love the reflections and the color in the 2nd and the 3rd on is very nice as well, Don't know if it's a sunrise or Sunset, but It looks like a sunrise to me.
the last one is amazing!!! Love the colors and the mood of the capture.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Ughh, that's not far I was getting ready to see beautiful holiday photos and you show me a blood filled mosquito ughhh.
Now apart from that your photos are beautiful. The second is a wall hanger. Funny when I think of Russia I don't think of sunsets and water reflections, and mosquito's. Thankyou for sharing.

Thank you. There isn't my blood in it's belly. When i was making the shot it was drinking blood from my friend. She's very brave girl.
