Svalbard always gives a new experience; something rare, something special, something unexpected. In July I was on my sixth trip to the archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, and that expedition was no exception for sure. What about photographing a huge and well fed Polar Bear in God given heavy snowfall? A rare oppertunity, I have never experienced that before. Or what about under water and split photography of 1,5 tons walruses using a 14mm wide angle lens at one meter distance? Amazing!
I am happy to let you know that my image below taken in the forests of Kuhmo at the Finnish-Russian border, is honored with a Highly Commended Award in BioPhotoContest 2014.

One week ago an old dream of mine came true: I saw my first wild Norwegian Lynx! And even better than that, I got to photograph it in nice light as well! Normally these animals are extremely shy and people rarely see them.
