Reindeer-mania in Lapland
 

A small selection from my September reindeer images.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1: Reindeer in a distance. </p>
<p>I set up camp on this high plain (a 20 km long valley) close to Saltoluokta for 2 nights. First I encountered only smaller groups of Reindeer, 5 to 10 animals, but then more and more gathered, many herds of 50 and more reindeer. Everything started to taste and smell like reindeer, the air, the water, my food, and I myself!</p>
