Lapland is an area of reindeer husbandry.
There are reindeer everywhere husbanded or otherwise loose-living on the road.
The Reindeer, even the females, were on the whole unimpressed by John’s attempts to husband them into photographs for small T. As I have much African experience of taking photos of trees and grass with small black dots just out of focus, I made no effort to help him though I knew I would never dissuade him from trying. These are the edited results after I deleted the 120 that John took on foot while the fleet fled. So here you have –
Female reindeer, young reindeer, reindeer on snow, handsome reindeer with fuzzy antlers – yes! We have been to Lapland!
These photos were taken especially for T.
No one is to tell him that the best shots were taken while we were eating reindeer jerky and reindeer salami, though the rock art shamans might agree that it is the reason the reindeer allowed us to photograph them in the first place.
