It is very late and i should be asleep, but...

i cant sleep and think a cup of tea and piece of chocolate cake might help, but it doesnt..

the photos below are from a trip to lappland with my son a few years ago about this time. There wasnt much daylight, so the colors are a little blue

we went here hoping to see lots of snow, the northern lights and moose.. we didnt really see the northern lights thou got up many times in the night to see if they were there, mostly lots of stars and some green thou the colors in the sky at dawn and dusk were very beautiful

the snow was incredible, we rolled down banks of snow and walked across frozen lakes, deep in snow

and the moose, they were elusive, so we drove to a moose sanctury where we fed them bananas :) and like all things when you re not looking suddenly they are there, like the first flakes of snow in winter.. we drove out to a beautiful place where several mountain ranges meet and along the way several moose crossed the road infront of us and then stood in the trees perfectly still, so we were not supposed to know they were there

we stayed in a small wooden cabin next to the frozen lake , surrounded by snow and with a log fire going, it was very peaceful
