#2022ByStills: I shot this at around 15.50 as the sun was setting. This was shot whilst walking on the frozen Olkkajärvi #Lake at #ApukkaResort.

#2022ByStills: Decided to book into one of the famous glass igloos at #ApukkaResort near #Rovaniemi, #Finland to see more of the #NorthernLights.
Was just being greedy by this point lol. 🤣 😝
I took a shot with this view because it somehow made it look a little like the cockpit view of a spaceship.

#2022ByStills: Travelled to the #ArcticCircle for the 1st time in Jan and managed to see the #NorthernLights nearly every night there. 😍 Was a very humbling experience.

#2022ByStills: Being based in and around London means a lot of #LightPollution. Being in a remote location near #Muonio, #Finland, allowed so many more stars to be seen in the night sky. This is the constellation of #Orion.
#2022ByStills: Only 500m from the bus stop to the holiday cabin where we were staying near #Muonio, #Finland... Shouldn't take us long to walk...
Oh how wrong was I. It took over 30 mins!

#2022ByStills: Always a sucker for the food when I travel on a #train which has a buffet coach.
Absolutely no different on overnight train from #Tampere to #Rovaniemi - late night snack was a small pizza and some sausages.

#2022ByStills: Many #train stations in #Finland have lockers big enough to fit a suitcase, making travelling around by train quite easy, especially if exploring a location during the few hours between trains.
Luggage can be stored in the lockers for up to 24 hours and takes coins, so make sure you have a supply of coins.

#2022ByStills: "‘What are you?’ asked the small creature. ‘I’m a moomintroll,’ answered #Moomintroll, who had got his courage back."
The #Moomins is one of the most famous exports of #Finland. This is the #MoominMuseum in #Tampere.

#2022ByStills: Staying at #AirBNB accommodations is a really good way to travel as you can shop for ingredients at local markets / supermarkets to get a feel for how locals live their lives.

#2022ByStills: I'd never stayed in an #AirBNB before I travelled to #Helsinki, #Finland, in January 2022.
I actually quite like the idea of going to the local markets / supermarkets to buy ingredients to cook. Makes the holiday experience seem rather more authentic / homely too.
