- “The Beauty of the Ocean” (2020) is a photograph taken by me, Elias V. It portrays the beautiful ocean near Lauttasaari. The picture has many other eye-catching details, such as the sky or the forest on the other shore. I took the photograph with my phone while I was taking my dog out. What I think this photograph excels at is the coloring. I think that the blue sky with a hint of yellow is a beautiful combination of colors. It symbolizes spring and its colors.

My grandparents grew the tree in my birth year 2003. Maple is also a beautiful tree when it has large orange leaves. This picture was taken on the phone. I like nature a lot so the subject is also important for me. The background you see is from my bedroom window, so you can see that I live in the middle of the forest. Nature photos interest me a lot.

I like this picture because it’s an iconic landmark of London. This was probably the best picture I could have taken of it, considering the equipment that I had.

Forests like this are perfect for nice spring walks.
