Reindeer battling the elements
This image was taken during an incredible snow blizzard. I have been to Northern Scandinavian many times but never encountered a blizzard like this. We found this small group of Reindeer, staying close together they tried to make their way through the blizzard. I like the rawness of the image and i think because the image is rather minimalist, it makes it very powerful.
