Hiking in Lapland

Tales from trails about sights and campsites

Walking along Kitkajoki

May 7th, 2009 by Juha Ylitalo

Once we have reached Kitkajoki, we first walk along the shores of Kitkajoki. In early June, you might still occasionally spot snow on southern shore, where it has been lying in shadows. You will also feel how the river radiates cold. After a while, trail starts climbing up to the ridge and if you are lucky, you might find blossoming Marsh Labrador Teas up there.

    Juha, your photography is just amazing! I love how you have captured the delicate beauty of the insect and the blossom. From an artistic point of view you have a great composition here. Well done. I also like your Entrecard widgets, they are wonderful and showcase your photographic skills in a tiny picture. I need to play with mine a bit more and figure out how to put the words on top of the photo.

    Even though I have spent more euros in camera gear than what I ever expected, when I bought my first dSLR camera, its still than what you pay for your wedding arrangements :)

    If I would have to start it all over again, I might go for couple Canon EOS 40Ds, Tokina AF 12-24mm, Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM, Canon EF 100/2.8 USM Macro, Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM and Canon Speedlight 580EX II .

    All together that would be GBP4139.38, which translates to around 5700 euros or USD8200.

    Kukkakärpänen on jännä otus kun se näyttää vaarallisemmalta kuin onkaan. Kauniisti aurinko luo värejä sen siipiin !
