How often have I paused on every charm

Silene acaulis

Here are some more photographs taken at Saana fell. Climbing to Saana was something to remember. And there were a lot of other things to explore near Kilpisjärvi.

I think we'll return there next summer, if at all possible, and preferably a bit earlier so that we can see how spring and early summer look like. We only explored a tiny corner of the wilderness, there is so much to see within a couple of hours of walking.
