The first part of the track was quite easy. Although there were some rocks here and there, the terrain was mostly flat-ish. There were some foot bridges and in some areas you walked on wooden planks. If I were a pirate, perhaps I’d be more nervous about that notion, lol. Or maybe I am aContinueContinue reading “Lap Dånalds”

Discovery
In the first few kilometers of the Fjällräven Classic, I captured this stunner of a view. There’s so much to look at in this shot and I keep discovering new details. Love it!
At the start in Nikkaluokta

This image just doesn’t seem real. The grass is so green, it’s almost ridiculous! Perhaps the contrast was created by the bright sunlight and that big cloud hovering the little hill. Kind of like an old WIndows default desktop image or Teletubby country (uh oh). But I’d say this one is so much better!
