A beautiful place
I posted this image on the local Jokkmokk blog yesterday, and got an e-mail today asking about the background story of the image. Here it is:
The photos are taken in Nautijaur, a small village not very far from Jokkmokk. One photo is taken during the easter holiday 2004, the other in the end of July 2005. Johannas father owns a small house in the village, where we spend a couple of weekends every year. It is always relaxing and calm, and since there is no internet access, no phone, no traffic and no noise, it is possible to completely disconnect from the regular everyday life and just live…
The village is covered in snow during the winter and spring, making it perfect for snowmobile adventures. In the summer, Nautijaur is a paradise in green with huge flower-covered fields surrounded by the forest and a sea. And in the fall it is possible to find both cloudberries and the rare and delicious arctic raspberriy in the area.
If I ever launch an online photo gallery, there will be lots of photos from Nautijaur in it…
