Of course I was excited, never done anything quite like this before – photography-wise. We hopped on a Cessna aeroplane with some volunteer pilots who flew over Lapland during the worst wildfire hazards to seek out smokes from the horizon. Before the flight Jarkko gave me some very welcome technical tips which I’m very grateful of. However, I might have got too hung-up on the techincalities in the beginning and forgot to think about what I’m actually taking photos of. Luckily the flight took over 2 hours, so I had time to adjust my priorities.

Lapland from above is suprisingly beautiful. The graphical human-made marks take turns with very similiar natural forms. Every once in awhile a swamp area is painted light green by the sun, providing scenes you’d expect to see in National Geographics, shot somewhere exotic and far away.

And then a bonus photo. Imagine Aerosmith’s song I don’t want to miss a thing playing on the background of this photo:
