Lapland Memories

Touring the Arctic Circle in winter can be quite an experience; In the interior of the Nordic countries we can safely reach, during the day, a maximum temperature of -20 degrees. But the light can also be fantastic during the few hours you can see; I took this photo around 12 noon, in the month of January, and that is the highest position that the sun reaches at this time. We were traveling along a local road, without traffic, heading towards an area of snow-laden trees that we wanted to visit, and we found these unique trees in the middle of a white blanket, with the sun in the center. I stopped for a few minutes, took some photos, it was very cold, I returned to the car and we continued on our way.
