This is the Swedish equivalent to Bigfoot. (Not taken by me, but I admire the photographer for daring to get so close).

This is a myskoxen, there are only 14 of them left in Sweden, or rather they have been implanted back into Sweden from Norway since we made them extinct.

This is a Golden Eagle, one of the largest birds of prey in sweden, if not the largest. It's a frekkin' nazgul when it comes close.

It's located in the west of Härjedalen, near the border to Norway. middle/north of Sweden. It's one of the most remote places in Sweden actually, 15 kilometers to the nearest neighbor and by European standards the entire region is unpopulated. It covers 12% of the Swedish total area, and houses 16000 people. Giving us over a square kilometer for every citizen. Man, woman and child.

6&7 are very special. i would love to know what equipment you used.
the landscape is beautiful. and while it looks 'romantic' i live in a 'cold' weather climate, not nearly as bad as this, and its a hard hard life in the 5 months of winter, especially for those of retirement age. nothing romantic about constantly shoveling snow, losing power and splitting logs...wouldnt blame your wife if she would rather live in miami!

That's why we train raindeer to fetch wood for the fire then prepare themselves for dinner
But you are right, coldest temperature I've recorded during my growth was -52 degrees centigrade, but we usually had atleast -45 for a week or two a year. The water freezes, the electricity goes it and you really don't want to go get more wood for the fire.
Although I rather enjoy the log splitting
#6&7 are both taken with the Leica Elmarit-R 19/2.8, the rest are with the apo-telyt 180/3.4 and the Macro Elmarit 60/2.8 and a few with the Vivitar series 1 28-105. The eagle with the MR-Telyt 500/8 on the GF3

I finished a couple of panoramas aswell I thought I would share. I also tried to take a few HDR's, but it turns out that I utterly suck at those that I really should stop trying.
Oh, and the first closeup of the myskoxen is taken with the T-noflexar 400/5.6. Mainly because I had it in the car and when another photographer there pulled out his 70-200/2.8 the male ego in me was bruised and I needed to inflate my penis with something even bigger and heavier. He looked quite disappointed. Male Ego 1, other photographers with small lenses 0. Unfortunately it was so impractical without a release trigger or a tripod, ontop of it being so long I could only shoot it straight in the face I most likely missed a few shots if I had gone with the apo-telyt 180 right away.
Still, I won!
