I visited Lappland, what the northern part of Finland is called, in early January of this year just at the end of the polar night.
It is a special experience if you're standing in the middle of a frozen lake at -30 ° C to see sunrise and sunset - and all that happens in just about 45 minutes! This picture was taken with a 15 mm fisheye lens at 11:15 am.
