A little stop by in Helsinki before flying to Edinburgh.
The advantage about being a T-Rap is combining the #sip_flexibility of a raptor with the big scary face of a T-Rex.
I decided this week to combine both #SiPgoes52 and Raptor Pack Day (#tds_infinityraptor) with a photo of T-Rap taken last year in Helsinki in front of the Cathedral.

#ElvesDay 25 - A Portrait of Laila
That feeling when something goes wrong and you don’t feel whole again.
(This photo is one of those happy little accidents where a photo didn’t end up as expected. Here taken during #SiPgoesScotland with @stepping_on_bricks little skeleton.)
#SiPgoes52 #sip_integrity
While playing at #WhereIsAnton during #SiPgoesScotland, the Admiral decided to lay a trap hoping to catch Nessy. Instead, he caught some kind of cookie monster. I guess it’s a different kind of #sip_achievement
Today for #ElvesDay I decided to go with my first photo of a #Minidoll and share the story behind it.
Last year at #SiPgoesScotland, I spent a lot of time photographing my favorite #LEGOElves Dragon, but I had also brought a couple minidolls as a challenge. After leaving the restaurant on the first evening, @me2 wanted to go for some night photography. Although I hadn’t brought any tripod with me, I decided to tag along. While walking down stairs in a small street of Edinburgh, a light caught my interest and made me want to put Naida’s minidoll between the light and my lens. This photo led me to a whole new world for me…

I was surprised how much this photo taken during #SiPgoesScotland2017 was similar to the one I took in Stockholm a few months before.
Scotland 2017I’m currently stuck in a dilemma about the purpose of my social media account. Initially I started to use the nickname “reiterlied” to separate my toy photography from the rest. Now it is such a big part that I wonder if it still makes sense. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about both renaming Reiterlied and starting a second social media account. (I’ve also decided to update my own personal blog, which has been too neglected, with a small post about this dilemma: The Fate of Reiterlied)

Woody the Toy PhotographerI’ve got to admit I didn’t really like the city of Edinburgh. My first impression was that the city was very very grey, and it seems to me people there try to win a competition of ugliness with some places in Belgium. And although I’ve never been so happy to be back in Oulu, I miss Scotland. Not for the city of Edinburgh (or any other location), but because my impression is that #SiPgoesScotland2017 was the best toy safari ever! Now that raises my expectations for the next safaris to a very high level…
Arthur’s Seat
For this week, I decided to post a photo taken more than a year ago, in #Edinburgh during the last day of #SiPgoesScotland2017 while heading to Arthur’s seat in the morning.This week I’m positing a portrait of Laila from back more than a year ago, during #SiPgoesScotland2017 when we stopped on the way to Arthur’s Seat.One month to go! Rey keeps on exercising while waiting for the Big Day.
