Kungsleden

[intrepidphotos]

There is nothing like camping under the midnight sun. Mt Rusjka (1708m) and Unna Ruskkas (1477m) in the background sit at 67°52" N is well within the Arctic Circle in the Scandinavian Mountains (Scandes) in Swedish Lapland.

The camp (let me know if you can see the tent!) is along the Kungsleden at Singistugorna. The Kungsleden or King's Trail is a hiking trail in the far north of Sweden that is approximately 440-kilometre (270 mi) long, between Abisko in the north and Hemavan in the south. It passes through one of Europe's largest remaining wilderness areas. Love to get back there one day.

Tent on the middle right or there are some cabins?
Amazing open-spaces landscape there! Love to travel up the Scandinavian penninsula to experience that, here in middle Norway, around Trondheim area, mostly forests everywhere... Nice shot, like the light.

[intrepidphotos]

No they are some small cabins (toilet etc). A hit the tent looks like a rock. You can click and see larger.

[photovisions]

Yes yes yes...know I see it clearly :)

[photonenblende]

Fantastic work with a really nice colour balance, very impressie!

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks!

[jessicaoutside]

Found the tent! What a stunning spot

[intrepidphotos]

It's amazing up there.

[dreemsteem]

I think I see the tent??? hehehehe yes! i see it :)

this is absolutely beautiful - curious... what time was this taken at?? :)

[intrepidphotos]

It was taken at midnight ! It's 24 hour daylight in the arctic summer.

[dreemsteem]

yes!!! when you said midnight sun - i didn't know you really meant the picture was also taken at midnight

so beautiful!!! you've seen so many wonders! :)

[intrepidphotos]

Its is something else watching the sun set and not quite get there and then start to rise again.

[fotosdenada]

That's an impressive landscape! How was the ambient light at night? It looks like an amazing place for dinner astrophotography...

[intrepidphotos]

This was taken at midnight ! Up in the arctic its 24 hour light and the sun does not set in summer.

[michalx2008x]

Great photo :)

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks !

[kathleenscarboro]

Wow! It seems unreal!

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks. It's amazing up in lapland.

[dflo]

Ughh i am going through the Travel tag and getting the travel bug for sure! This is so lovely. I come from a mountanous area, and would love to visit more mountains around the world. I hiked up in a mountain that is about 1400 meters today, for a nice morning hike. I would love to see the flowers and wilderness in Europe!

[intrepidphotos]

Where are you based?

[dflo]

Montana, USA. I just posted this image with some other ones, from a hike today. Now I am looking at all the travel and nature photos on Steemit and dreaming .... :)

[intrepidphotos]

Nice. Lots of beautiful places around the world.

[asgarth]

[intrepidphotos]

[badmusgreene]

[redheadpei]

Lovely view. I was able to see the tent by enlarging the photo. Beautiful how the midnight sun shone it’s golden light on the clouds.

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks. Glad you found it ;-)

[yanipetkov]

I like the pic, the scenery looks incredible! It is worthy to mention that in Europe there are left so many pristine areas.

[intrepidphotos]

Yes there are lots of 'pristine' looking areas but very few large areas that could be defined as 'wilderness' with no history of development (farming/logging/etc) and no encroachment of roads etc.

[yogasoulstyle]

beautiful spot! sounds magical

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks. It is quite special up there.

[benjamin-mercer]

Amazing picture! Thank you for sharing!

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks. It's a beautiful place to hike and camp.

[thestig]

[itchyfeetdonica]

Amazing shot as always! I found the tent ⛺️- it looks like a big rock, so camouflaged! :)

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks. Appreciate your support. Yes it is amazing how close to a rock it looks!

[josephbuarao]

@intrepidphotos

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks for looking!

[corneljulian]

amazing interpretation of conceptual approach to hiking

[andresjreyes]

I love the depth that is appreciated due to the labluz of the sun that can still cross some clouds and makes that perception of distance in the photograph.
You managed to capture it at the right time, so that the mountain could be seen wrapped in the soft clouds of the clouds. The bottom is illuminated by the sun, wanting to be present in the clouds.
the subtle contrast between the upper part (sky with clouds) and soil (vegetation and water) has been phenomenal. Sincerely, if my voting power were higher I would gladly give you a tremendous vote. For now, here is my humble vote. regards @intrepidphotos

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks. Appreciate you taking the time to have a look at the shot.

[alexa.janell]

Wow! Breathtaking

[intrepidphotos]

Amazing shot!

However, looking at this mystical landscape, I feel like I would be afraid of Trolls raiding the camp at night...

[intrepidphotos]

Thanks. No trolls to be seen when I was there ;-)
