Evening...

It was Kalevala day today.

Kantele

Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: Sigma ART 50mm ƒ/1.4
Aperture: ƒ/1.8
Exposure: 1/200 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 100+200

On Kalevala day we Finns celebrate our national epic story/poem, Kalevala. (Read/Download it in English here.) Kantele is the epic instrument played by Väinämöinen in the poem.

Edit: WikiSource has a nice indexed version of Kalevala.

Oh, btw. since you asked, here's the recipe for the yesterday's bilberry-lingonberry pie (yea I was mistaken, it wasn't really just bilberries):

Bilberry-lingonberry pie

100g room temp (softened) butter/margarine
0.75 dl sugar
1 egg
1tsp baking powder
2.5dl wheatflour

Filling

0.5 – 1 liter bilberries and lingonberries (and btw. if you don't like bilberries, you can make the filling out of any berries, fruit or even rhubarb)

Sourcream mixture:

2 dl sourcream
0.5 dl sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla sugar

Whip the softened butter and sugar, add the egg and mix it well. Add flour and baking powder mixture. Mix the dough quickly to even consistency. Press the dough on to the bottom and sides of the pie tin. (The tin diameter should be from 23 to 27 cm)

Mix the sourcream mixture ingredients together.

Spread the berries inside the tin over the dough. Pour the sourcream mixture over the berries.

Bake the pie on the bottom rack at 200°C for 25 to 30 minutes.

Let it cool down. (The filling can be runny when hot.)

You can serve the pie with some vanilla sauce.

Hope you like it. :)
