The dragon!

After yesterday's post about Durin's Day, we couldn't resist but put this one up as well. Actually, to be fair, this photograph was taken a couple of weeks back, but we'll ignore that minor detail.

Aircraft are rare in this part of the world. But there are a few around. This one is one of the float-planes that is based on Kilpisjärvi. It flies the routes between the lakes during the warmer months. On this particular day, it flew in around Saana, arced over the LBA and then eased down over the trees between the customs station and Pikku Malla... not doubt to land on the main lake.
