travel survival kit, a photo from Lappland, Norrland

Photographer's Note

Steikenjokk, 2 km to the border of Norway, you feel small, being alone in this treeless endless high altitude plain, and bit like a turtle carring everything under your green shade.
the mountain in the BG is Siepmekke.

Hi Anders,

Nothing like spending time in the great outdoors. The view here is desolate and peaceful, away from everything everyone. Good idea to use the backpack as subject here. It does make the scene even more interesting. Good details and soft colours. I would love to trek in this place!

Hej Anders,
This is really the last wilderness of Europe and I can understand why this area attracts so many tourists from those crowded countries in middle Europe. Bur your backpacker doesn´t seem too heavy, how much did you carry? But I hope you had good use of your fishing rod!

Hi Anders!
Interesting composition with this lonely backpack in this desolate and peaceful landscape.I like the contrast between the green moss? and the grey grvel in the foreground.
You asked for mushrooms?
I post a workshop with my yesterday´s harvest,now,two delicious diners later...
It was raining a lot the last days ,but now summer came back ,the best conditions for growing and I`m looking forward to go to my favourite places the next weekend.
Best regards,Leo

Hej Anders,
Lonely, very lonely. A fine composition using well the very few colours. It all looks very exotic to me.
Hälsningar,

lol, anders: this one made me laugh. nothing like a backpack + some fishing gear to serve as the perfect foreground anchor in a wide open field. good thinking! :) i like the scenery too!

regards,

As always, a great picture from you.It conveys the fealing of solitude very well. The photo has great depth, thanks to overlapping mountainranges and the omnious cloud. Can't say anything negative, so why should I. TFP. Regards Patrick
