We're here because Gail has always had a childhood dream of going to Lapland and I need the peace and rejuvenation of nature. First visit: 2011, Reindeer, Nordic design & art, good food (salmon for me, reindeer quiche for Gail), Learning about the Saami (Finland's indigenous people). Second visit: 2015, Lake Inari Cabin. Third visit: 2017, Christmas in Helsinki. Photos by Martin Boyle, shot with a Pentax K5- 18-35 mm lens and an iPhone 5 & 7Plus.

Lapland
The Saami live in Lapland. They used to be called "Laps", which is a derogatory term, meaning a small ragged cloth.
