Lapland in winter feels like a peaceful world far from everything. I’ve visited this region twice : first in Kiruna, Sweden, and then in Finnish Lapland, near Ruka and Iso-Syöte.

At Riisitunturi National Park, I started walking early in the morning to catch the first light. The snow was untouched. The trees were frozen and quiet. As the sun rose, the sky slowly turned pink and purple. I love how simple things become beautiful in that soft light.

One night in Levi, I saw the Northern Lights dancing above a frozen lake. It was cold and silent. I didn’t take many photos at first. I just watched, feeling small and lucky.

Later, I walked the Valtavaara Winter Trail, where the wind had shaped the trees into white sculptures. At the top, I stood still, listening to nothing but the snow and the quiet air.

Lapland is a place of slow beauty. The colors change gently. The trees seem to hold their breath. It is one of the few places where I feel completely calm, with only my steps to break the silence.
