Maariankämmekkä, Dactylorhiza maculata

Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: Sigma ART 50 mm ƒ/1.4
Aperture: ƒ/1.4
Exposure: 1/1600 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 100+200

I shot this last Summer as a part of my One Photo Every Day project, when I was visiting Pyhätunturi, Lapland with Leo and Miro. :)

Here's a quote paraphrased from my OPED #28:

"Maariankämmekkä" was named after Virgin Mary (the mother of Jesus in the Bible), as its roots have the appearance of hands in prayer.
