I had the opportunity to visit local reindeer herders at Pöyrisjärvi wilderness area in Jan 2016.
We stayed there for 2 nights and the weather was perfect.
All these photos were shot in the first day. It was almost unreal to witness how light can vary in a few hours.
Pöyrisjärvi Wilderness Area is a wilderness reserve in Enontekiö municipality, Lapland, Finland.
It covers 1,280 square kilometres (490 sq mi). Coodinates 68°37′N 24°06′E.
