Dog Sledding

A sea of snow surrounded us. Here we were in the wilderness of Kiruna, so far North in Sweden we were in the Artic Circle. Five huskies pulling a single sled, eating ice along the way as a means of hydrating themselves. They were eager to run and dreaded the times they have to stop to take a rest. Though the dogs appeared to be skinny, they were strong, and every limb probably packed with muscles. Their goal? Lunch. Just like ours.

Every photograph we take contains a story, but we often do not spend enough time sharing that story with others. Hence, Foto Friday was born to give some recognition to these forgotten photographs and the memories they hold. Taken over many trips (2004-present) using my crappy cameras and whatever minimal photography skills I have, these photographs serve to give you a little insight into my travels. And if you haven’t realised by now, they’ll be out on Fridays.
