Photographer’s Note

A view from thr top of Haukkavuori ("Hawk Mountain") in Rautjärvi. Haukkavuori is almost vertical cliff that rises 79 meters from Sarajärvi lake. This place has some historical significance because the border line between Sweden and Russia has been marked here during three different peace treaties 1323, 1595 and 1721. Some old weapons have been found also near this place.
