Huskies on the snow track

SANTA CLAUS VILLAGE, LAPLAND, FINLAND

A team of sled dogs moves out across fresh snow beneath a low winter sky. The line of harnesses pulls tight against the white field, with dark forest holding the horizon. Snow clings to the trees and softens the distance into a muted wall of winter. The frame keeps the dogs close and the landscape spare, letting motion and cold do the work. It reads as a travel moment from northern Finland, made in the quiet between departure and speed.
