Thick packs of snow cover the branches of this pine tree. The tree stands in a desolate landscape, all alone. A real go-getter, this tree! The barren, vast plains of Urho Kekkonen national park are rugged and plagued by heavy snowfall and high winds. This makes it very difficult for trees to grow here. This photo gives me a sense of perseverance every time. If this tree manages to survive on its own here, then I also manage to do what I am up against! The skies have beautiful colors in the Finnish winters because of the low sun. Even though it was almost completely cloudy here, the sky still had a pink hue. It really is a treat to photograph in Lapland in winter.
Crazy about travelling and photography!.. Read more…
