The Last Bus Home

It was the eve of May Day, a big national celebration day in Finland. In my location there were no animals and the people had vanished too – probably they were celebrating with balloons and sparkling drinks.

I had a few animal sightings this evening, but unfortunately the subjects were too

far away to be photographed. The sun had already set and photographing started to become impossible as the evening had begun. I decided to go home.

After four hours in the field, without any good shots fired, I was walking back to the car with the chin in my chest, until I saw some movement right in the front of me. It was a fox running towards me!

The fox sat down in front of my camera, as if knowing this camera guy needs to get his pictures done before going home. The fox was just patiently sitting there, letting me adjust my tripod and settings.

My hands were literally trembling from happy excitement.

And what a shot I got. The fox really gave me a reason to celebrate. Residential lights behind the fox are like May Day celebration balloons. The fox itself looks like it's heading back to the nest after the most successful night out. I felt that this piece of art has to be named 'The Last Bus Home'.
