The midnight sun from a mountain top in Kebnekaise, the blue tone of a winter’s night of Lapporten – the Lapponian Gate – and the boundless expanses of Padjelanta. The mountains are Lapland’s signature and a dream for all lovers of nature, walkers and photographers. In Claes Grundsten’s new coffee-table book we get to see why.
Lapland – my mountain world is a superb collection of Grundsten’s landscape photographs as well as a personal description in text of his 45 years as a mountain walker. The magnificent panorama double spreads are accompanied by the photographer’s informative comments and smaller black-and-white images with every peak and marked walking path included. We get to follow Claes on his walking trips through Kebnekaise, Sarek and Padjelanta and become familiar with his thoughts about nature, the walk and the importance of nature protection. The result is a vivid description of the natural landscape where impressively large areas of wilderness have been preserved, and the untouched environment is often amazing. This book can also serve as an excellent basis for planning your own walking in the region.
