I have to say, I express myself through photography, obviously. If you have visited my other blogs you know that I also paint, do sculpture and digital art. I am now going to share some of my other artistic tendencies with you. Hope you appreciate them and note I am still also on a learning curve in them too.
These are taken in Ylitornio in Lapland around 4 PM, with my mobile phone, so the quality is not totally up to my expectations, as we took a snow scooter ride through the woods. Untouched nature around us what can I say, I have never been a winter person, but the nature there in all blue tones in just gorgeous.

I am so happy I visited Lapland, indigo was so much present there, before the dusk. 
These are unedited photos so you can see that the blues there are so real and powerful, The first one is taken on top of the ice…around 7 am, the second about hour later from the window… last one around 5 pm in the evening. 
Sitting inside watching the dusk come and go from the window,birds coming for seed. fireplace warming the toes, that is Serenity. Watching the time go by…

These pictures have been taken in slightly different times. The blue hues change quickly, and the few minutes we saw small resemblance of light behind the clouds the hue and tones of blue changed completely. As always, all photos can be enlarged by a click.
As I was able to experience a husky ride in Rovaniemi, Lapland. I can recommend the experience. The Huskies enjoy it as much as the passengers in the sledge.
I have to share few more photos I took from the dinner we had with friends, it is so nice to dine in these kind of settings. It should be done more often, set the table, create an athmosphere
As always, all photos can be enlarged by a click. I Love the shadows the trees cast, the relief they give from the heat.
