It was quite unique place, no signs of human tracks and nature was beautiful in this light.

Ron, I walked to top of this fjeld. It took three days to make a path to the top, there was about 1m of snow all around Too much soft snow for snowshoes to carry me and too steep slopes for snowmobile or skis.

I think of Curtis, also the civil war/early western explorer photographers, and then Adams with his van prowling for days to find that image------and one is never sure an image will come together more than a snapshot---this one did--to favs Ya da man Harri, Ya are da man-----Well played-------ron s.

It was quite extreme trip in mid winter and temps were pretty low too (-25C)... After this trip I was more than tired, but very happy that I did it! I'm also grateful that my cam did work the whole time and didn't froze or fail June 21, 2011 ron_9 Offline Image Upload: On Registered: June 2006 Location: United States Posts: 300 January 23, 2012 6:54pm Attention everyone-- http://www.wimp.com/finnishlapland/ I found this 2 min video that might explain Harri's passion for the night sky ---ron s.
