Description
Referring to the Finnish epic Kalevala, about a swan lives in the Tuoni river located in Tuonela, the underworld realm of the dead. According to the story, whoever killed a swan would perish as well. Jean Sibelius composed the LemminkΓ€inen Suite based on Kalevala, with the second piece entitled Swan of Tuonela (Tuonelan joutsen)Related content

by editing it i used the infrared filter a several times. it has the effect that it stresses the white light and makes things look glowing ^^
