Spring water in Skäckerfjällen Photo

Photographer’s Note

Sparkling, cold water directly from the creek is a gift a lot of people in world doesn't have access to.
This is from the Mountain range of Skäckerfjällen 80 km north of Åre well known for its's skiing.
But this is wilderness, almost no trails in the area and a lot of rapids, lakes and canyons to struggle around, a perfect outdoor event if you have kids.

God morgon och välkommen till en ny arbetsvecka!

You can also call it "pure swedish". The creek thru the fields is great mabye the reflections in the water is a bit blue. I dont know if its the sky or some kind of postwork. Anyway A nice summer memory!

Hej Anders,
Yuo have a good series of 'outback' Sweden. This has nice summer feeling high on the mountains. Sun shines, grass is green but I can bet water is cold. I like the sunshine sparkles on the water.

Hello Anders! This is right and we are very lucky to have water although they have found out that with the extensive building activities that goes on in Switzerland (where I live), the water just runs through our country. In earlier years that water had space to spread out and stay in the fields for example but nowadays this seems no more possible and it might be the case that water becomes expensive in a country that actually has a lot of water. Just some thoughts :) I like the pureness in this photo, with just land and fresh water and the kid standing there enjoying the wide open "playground" ... what a great place to grow up. Very nice work indeed. Best regards ... Barbara.

Hej Anders,
The water looks very good, fresh and cool, nothing like all that bottled water everyone seems to be drinking nowadays. A perfect photo to show the grandness of the last wilderness in Europe.
Hälsningar från Göteborg

Hi Anders!

Beautiful nature photo, that becomes also a beautiful and relaxed daily life scene, because of the presence of the sweet little child! Great framing and composition, excellent light managment, the most refreshing part, is the small creek of course! Congratulations!
