Last year around this time we had a slice of Christmas Past in the shape of The Beatles.
This year here's a candidate for Christmas Present. These folks live in Lapland today, in Inari, Finland - 160 miles inside the arctic circle. Vast snowy open spaces, sled dogs, fantastic low sunlight and peaceful surroundings.
The music is provided by German band Faun.  Merry Christmas one and all. 


Rather than leave you wondering I thought I'd incorporate one of my 'Where in the World' features:
As you can see Inari is north of the arctic circle (the dashed red line). The map below that is a closer view of the northern most part of Scandinavia. I've highlighted two places bottom left for future interest - Kiruna and Karesuando on the Sweden/Finland border - these will be of note very soon… when we go there!
