Ritva Ikonen
Profile
I am an amateur photographer living in the beautiful countryside in southern Finland. Photography is my passion and I carry my camera with me wherever I go. My main interests are nature – particularly birds, natural water elements, rocks and stones, old buildings and those everyday little things that – in my opinion – deserve another look.
Critiques, comments and ideas are always welcome.
Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoy my world – as seen by me…
