I was in Ruka/Kuusamo watching the ski jumping World Cup this weekend. I got some pics from there to show to you
The first three are from Friday. In the first and second pic I just took photos from the jumping hill and in the third picture I tried to take a photo of Nicholas Fairall landing, but as you can see, it didn't become a very succesful photo. If you look carefully, you can see his yellow(?) jumping suit in motion. Also you can see his shadow on the snow.

These two are from Saturday, taken just after the competition was cancelled. In the first pic you can see the audience, and behind them there is the start/finish area of the skiing competitions. In the second pic I tried to take a photo of the place from where we came to the spectator area, but I moved the camera too early, so in the photo you'll see a Finnish flag and my mother's boots instead

This was the 6th consecutive year I have been there with the first time being in 2008. Also, I once have been in Oberstdorf in the Four Hill Tour opening. That was in 2010. I could show some pictures from there also, if I just find them from somewhere
