Photography + Cross-Country Skiing
I first drove to a place close to the harbour to see if I could get nice long exposures of the harbour. It wasn't very dark, yet, and going down there to take the photos after skiing would've been begging to catch a cold. It was uncomfortably cold in a lights sports jacket and sports underwear. Putting up the tripod also took more time than expected because one of the extensible legs was stuck. Also, it was foggy, which I should've anticipated because it had got warmer in the past few days. When that happens, humidity in the warm air starts to condensate over the lake ice.
Anyway, here are the pics I took at blue hour.
ƒ/5.6 55.0 mm 1/40 400
ƒ/8.0 55.0 mm 1/4 100
When you drop ISO from 400 to 100 and expose ten times longer, you get a somewhat better image. Not dramatically but still.
ƒ/8.0 40.0 mm 1/4 100
This would be a nice shot at night.
ƒ/8.0 40.0 mm 0.4 100
I'll be back some other day.

The trail was in pretty good condition. Not too many people, though. That's what always happens. When there are large puddles of water in the streets many people think that it must be like that in the forest, too. But that is not the case. The trail has been maintained for the whole winter and there is still a lot of snow in general.

Some guy passing by.
I had parked my car close to the ski jumping tower and when I was driving down from the hill, I saw this.
All the photos are great.
Friend @markkujantunen but the fifth photo reminds me of the path that all Venezuelans are going through, and of that light that illuminates our lives in the midst of darkness, thanks to many like you who are responsible for clarifying the situation of Venezuelans. Thank you for defending our people in the conversation of the post where someone defends the so-called socialism. I made a post in Spanish without mentioning it to you but I made reference of the people who think of Venezuela without knowing what is really happening inside Venezuela.
Then I will publish it in English.
Thanks friend.
Thank you. The person who I debated accused me of arrogance. But did he ever even respond to you?

No friend @markkujantunen
He never answered, he has no arguments. That's why I told him that he can not comment on something that does not live. and I invited him to live in my country with my salary as a university professor.
It has no way of grounding something that does not live in its own flesh.
Then I made a general comment but nobody deigned to respond.
He went on to talk about clandestine operations against Venezuela by the USA but failed to mention how he knows about them. He seems to say that without the sanctions the economy would be fine. I said the oil revenue grinding to a halt in 2014 was big. How big was it?

The only thing true was that before those years there was a lot of bonanza, the inflow of money into the government coffers were incalculable. I can tell you, the nation's budget is prepared in an estimate of the price of a barrel of oil, and the government delinquents knew that the price would rise, which they budgeted at a price of 40 dollars per barrel and the price reached 110 in some years.
That underestimation of the price was what they all stole, the country continued moderately functioning because the estimate of 40 dollars per barrel reached medium, and the differential they use to create companies of briefcase and in this way to steal everything they could. that was from 2003 to 2014,
I see. Very interesting.

I also clarify that the sanctions are not applied to the nation, they are applied individually to government officials.
Example one of the sanctions was to take away the visa, block their bills that could not prove the source of those resources to officials and family members who also have money in the United States and can not prove how they have those resources.
That is a very important point.
