Thunder over Pallas

Scoo has posted a doc:

Shot in July from one of the two summits of Pyhätunturi (lit. 'Holy Fell'). Since Finland is rather flat and what mountains we have have eroded into fells, a sight such as this is not that common. Quite different from Norway and Sweden for example.

Our campsite was to the left in frame; a polarizer would have been snazzy.

Pallas en français.

Five fells

Five fells in one frame (Kellostapuli is actually part of Ylläs, so one could say that only four fells are shown in this image, check the note).

This and others were shot in order to measure the light for a roll of Velvia 50 (a roll that I thoroughly botched). Shot from the fell Pyhätunturi in the Pallas-Yllästunturi national park.

A point of interest is the spruce to the lower right in frame that's distorted due to exposure to wind and snow etc.

Yours truly snapping away on one of the two summits of the fell Kesänki (Äkäslompolo, Kolari municipality) in Finnish Lapland. Will look for the shot I took (B&W ISO 100 Shanghai GP3 if I recall correctly).

...or autostrada. Call it what you will, the traffic of cross country skiers and snowshoe-sporting types is plainly visible in the "pot" between the two summits of the fell Kesänki near Äkäslompolo, Finland.

Merry band of adventurers

Five ardent snow-shoe sporting types (plus two out of frame that were lagging behind) on their way to the south-western summit of the fell Kesänki near Äkäslompolo, Finland.

Another view of the fell Ylläs, nowadays turned into a downhill ski centre shared by two villages (Äkäslompolo and Ylläsjärvi).

Nikon D50, 70-200 f/2.8 + 1.7x TC, cropped a little bit, forgot sharpening during post processing. Shot from the fell Kesänki.

Shot on a northeastern slope of the fell Ylläs in northern Finland, near the 'subsidiary summit' of Kellostapuli.
