Hey everyone!
Today I want to share some photos that I took when I went to northern Sweden.
There is something special about the north here in Sweden and Finland. and of course Norway.
It doesn't matter when you go there, if it is winter, spring, summer or autumn. All seasons have it's beauty. For me winter and autumn is my favorite time. Here I will share som photos from a small village named Lannavaara in Sweden. I went there to write a article about that village for my blog.
Lannavaara has only around 80 people, but has so much going on there. It is becoming a popular tourist destination for those who are into more active vacations.
They even have a small monastery where 3 nuns live. These are hard working nuns.
One is very handy and have made all the wood interior in the monastery. Even that big cross with #Jesus.
Yana Mangi is from Lannavaara and she is one of the most famous saami singers in Sweden. I was invited to her house. She has raindeers on her farm.
Per Simma the carpenter was a very interesting person to listen to. He had so many interesting stores to tell. He was very into natural living. Per told me this:
– Imagine if all people knew how to take care of their body, then you would avoid many problems. An easy thing like stretching. Just as the animals do every morning when they get up. Look at nature, where you all have the right answers! We are nature, we come from nature. People are foolish. Think of all the medicines we eat and what doctors give out. It's poison! Take care of your body instead of taking that blood pressure medicine.
There is something true about that. I think i need to go back to Per. I feel I have so many questions to him and he has so much to share.
I also feel I want to go back to Lannavaara. There is something magical here. Is it the fresh air? The people? The nature? Whatever it is, I think this place has some important to teach us all.
And who wouldn't want to wake up to this view in the morning? Even this is like a healing for your soul.
