Ten nights. Ten nights under the boreal sky, waiting patiently for northen lights to come. Far north surely knows how to keep his treasures secrets…

Ten days. Ten days shorter than a short winter day, when sun slides on the Earth, offering to the icy lakes a soft and warm touch of light.

Ten days and ten nights. It could have last a whole life, it would never be long enough.

  • A lot.
  • Two hours and a half.
  • Then, everything was fixed, so we could leave!
  • Of course, because of this delay, we missed the bus in Ivalo.
