Photographer's Note

Jokkmokk locality hosts every year a big Sami market (mainly in the open streets), and the place is extremely busy during that time with market stalls, exhibitions and all kind of activities - although it is the middle of winter and in the middle of Lapland, which means a very cold weather and very short daytime! On the day the picture was taken, the temperature reached -29oC...
A reindeer race takes place for fun everyday on the frozen lake, and it can get quite impressive when the reindeers start being nervous !
