Photographer’s Note
El Parque Nacional de Oulanka en la Laponia finlandesa tiene 270 Km cuadrados y hace frontera con Rusia, donde se encuentra el PN de Paanajärvi que es su continuación al otro lado de la frontera.
El parque es único en su combinación de naturaleza típica del norte, este y oeste de Laponia. La taiga, ríos, valles, bancos de arena y rápidos conforman su paisaje, que además alberga una gran cantidad de vida animal y variedad de la flora.
Es el más popular de los parques naturales de Finlandia, y su famosa ruta de más de 80 km Karhunkierros, es un clásico de los aficionados al senderismo.
Establecido como parque en 1956, ha sufrido dos ampliaciones en 1982 y 1989. Esta zona ya era conocida por su belleza en el S. XIX, donde artistas y naturalistas hacían una parada obligada.
Esta foto corresponde a la cascada de Jyräva que se encuentra dentro del recorrido Pieni karhunkierros, de 12 km de longitud con origen y final en el Pueblo de Juuma.
Oulanka National Park (Oulangan kansallispuisto) is a national park in Oulu and Lapland Provinces, Finland, covering 270 square kilometres (104 sq mi). It borders with Paanajärvi National Park, established in 1992 in Russia. Oulanka National Park is a unique and versatile combination of northern, southern and eastern nature.
The landscape is made up of pine forests, river valleys with sandy banks and rapids, and in the north of vast mires. The area is rich in animal and plant species, even endangered ones.
Oulanka is one of the most popular national parks in Finland. The most well-known Finnish trekking route, Karhunkierros, is located in the national park.
Oulanka National Park was established in 1956, after which it has been expanded twice: in 1982 and 1989. The area has been known for its beauty from the late 19th century, when it was a popular stop for artists and naturalists.
This Picture is the Jyräva waterval that is on the 12 km long Pieni karhunkierros trail, at the town of Juuma.

Hi Carlos,
Well framed shot of Finnish nature. That fall is big for a Finnish one, I can feel the power of it. The boat is well placed.

Hola Carlos,
A good shot of Jyrävä with a good composition, natural colours and good control of light. Unfortunately the weather was not sunny. Your photo shows the wilderness of the place very well, TFS.

Hi Carlos!
I love that boat in the foreground and I can almost hear the thundering sounds of the waterfall. Yet another photo in which you present how well you can use framing and composition techniques.
