About
The World and Places Photo Blog is a photographic supplement for my narrative blog, which so far doesn’t exist in English. You can easily go from picture to picture by using the arrows below each photo. Even better is the “search” box on the lower right corner of each page, if you know what you are looking for. You can write there for example the name of a place or the name of a bird or animal species, and you will then get a listing of the pictures available.
In order to find the kind of pictures you are mainly interested in, you can also search in the archive using tags and categories. For example, if you are one of my birdwatcher or naturalist friends, you can select “birds” in the categories. If you want to see pictures from a particular country, choose that country. For the information of Finnish birdwatchers, you can also add in the “search” box the Finnish name of the bird you are interested in and find it that way. Also scientific names work.
Your comments are welcome. However, if you know me, I would appreciate you to respect my anonymity when leaving comments. The program instructs giving your name, but for me it’s fine if you use a first name, nickname or whatever you want.
Even though many people I know are undoubtedly photogenic, I’ll try to avoid publishing pictures of people I know. This blog is for sharing impressions of places where I go with those of my relatives and friends who are far away. People appearing in the pictures here have probably no connection to me, or only an accidental one.
I try to be sensitive culturally, religiously and in humanitarian sense when publishing pictures, but if in spite of this you find one of the pictures offensive, let me know – it won’t be a problem to remove it if there is a sensible reason.
Enjoy!
