This is such a beautiful album! This vacation must have been a wonderful experience. I especially liked the "snow monsters" and the northern lights. I saw some while working in Iceland but they were only white. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your pictures!

I enjoyed viewing these pictures. I never realized that Lapland was in Finland. While viewing your pictures I felt as if I was actually there - your selection of pictures are so good. Glad I came across your site.

Wonderful photo album. If you can take the cold the scenery is beautiful. I lived for 27 years in the northern tablelands of New England, Australia. Winters were pretty with snow but "pretty terrible" on the hands and feet. Thank you again - all your photos are great. I am a fan now. Pearl.

At first, I was very skeptical about pouring through such a large album. I'm really glad that I did. You have showcased Finnish Lapland to the rest of the world in grand fashion. You are to be commended on doing a wonderful job. My hat's off to you! Clark from O'ahu.
