What attracted me to go to the North of Samiland? Of course, my connection with the old cultures, especially the Sami, the only Indigenous people of Northern Europe. I keep on saying Samiland instead of Lapland. I felt I should see The North before everything melts and to see it  in its original state. But there was a deeper reason why I went to the High North. Was it the Huskies or Reindeers or the Sami or the Northern Lights? I do not know. The beauty that I saw and experienced was overwhelming; it was beyond my expectations. It seemed like I was walking around in a fairy tale and that I would wake up any moment. I felt so at home in the silence of the snow and the beauty of its surroundings. The Sun was so intense when it was present; and the Moon I saw more hours a day than ever before. Both were always there and I felt the connection with the origin more powerful than ever. Every time I was touched by this beauty.

The Northern lights showed themselves two nights and could be observed by the naked eye. I had a good camera with me, but I could not get the position right. No one could help me. Only the last night when the display of The Northern Lights had  almost ended I had found out how to set my camera. Why? 

Because I could not make good pictures I just looked and unconsciously I connected to the Northern lights to welcome its codes. I still don't know how my system processed the codes. I only know that since I came home I've been dreaming about the Northern lights for many nights and it took a long time before I  knew where I was when I woke up. I am full of energy and full of hope when I think of how the locals cherish their land and try to protect nature.
