it wasn't just foggy and misty in
Kilpisjärvi - one day in fact the sun was shining so bright that my cheeks turned red. on that day the sky was so clear that we could see as far as the norwegian mountains - when
we climbed up the Saana.
photographs from Lapland II:
Nikon FM - kodak portra 800.
I must admit I am not a great hiker when I have to walk uphill and I still cannot believe I had made it almost to the top of
the highest mountain in Finland -
the Saana is 1,029 meters high - yet the view was totally worth the effort! not to mention that
I had finally got the perfect chance to photograph reindeers: we had seen some every single day we were in
Lapland but we had never got so close to them as we did that day on the
Saana. I will never forget the moment I took those shots: they may seem average to you but I was extremely excited to be able to
photograph those beautiful wild animals so close to me - with only a
50mm lens!
the last shot of the 1st film roll:
my friend Kasia took this portrait of me just after we saw the reindeers - it shows how ecstatic I was after taking those photographs.
♥ thank you Kasia!
