  Transit of Venus
LocationOulu, Finland
DateJune 8, 2004
Misc. Info6 pictures in total.
DescriptionThis is the grandiose event that you've all been waiting for! The one and the only: The Transit of Venus. I took a lot of pictures but after filtering out the not-so-good ones, I'm only left with half dozen of them. Oh well... On a side note, I kinda messed up the pictures. I forgot to resize them before attaching the border and the title. Dohhh And now I'm too lazy to revert back the changes. Too bad~ Nonetheless, enjoy!

EDIT: Nevermind.. I got around the problem now. It's much better. :)

 We did this on the roof of the EE building of University of Oulu. You can see four residence buildings in the background.
