This photo is taken in Helsinki seaside in a really cold January morning on my way to work. A morning I will remember forever. It was one of the most beautiful winter mornings I have ever seen, my fingers were completely frozen and I was late for work but capturing this moment was definitely worth of it. Sea only started to froze these days, cold air moved over the warmer water and formed this beautiful and magical sea smoke.Time

Days are really short in Helsinki in January, the sun barely shows itself but this morning was an exception. In these short and dark winter days photographer really needs to enjoy every moment of sun there is.Equipment
This was shot by Olympus OM-D EM-10Inspiration
Cold but beautiful. I was already running late and it was a really really cold morning. But I was amazed by the beauty of this cold morning, I wish I could have been able to watch the sunrise for hours but with this cold temperature I could only stay for some minutes, so I needed to capture it to be able to enjoy it later.Editing
I edited the white-balance in this photo.In my camera bag
Nowadays I always carry my Olympus OM-D EM-10 with at least one or two lenses. It goes everywhere I go.Feedback
I am not a morning person at all but these magical winter mornings up here in the north are definitely worth of traveling here also in the winter time and waking up early to be able to enjoy the few hours of sun. Just need to take lots of clothes!
