<br>

The construction of the Bengtskar Lighthouse, built on a skerry in the Baltic Sea, was completed in 1906. The

lighthouse has six rooms to accommodate guests. There's nothing else there, the lighthouse, a few small

outbuildings, sea-washed rocks, water, and the marvelous light. Sally Mack photographed the rocks, reflections,

and light on this tiny island.<br>

<br>

The village of Inari in Lappland provided the setting for the frost pictures. Taking one last walk along the

river, armed with only a small digital camera, the sunshine back-lighting the frosted lingonberry leaves proved

too much to resist photographically. It provided a wonderful ending to the trip.<br>

<br>

No photos of Finland would be complete without some of the marvelous forests. In Lappland, they're said to house

elves small enough to live under rock outcroppings. Some of them are deemed to be magical. And Helsinki, with its

long history and cultural amenities, has some wonderful nature preserves and reserves.<br>
