Situated in the Finnish Taiga Forests (Martinselkonen) close to the Russian border.
Owing to the latitude, and the available light in mid-summer, I was able to take acceptable images throughout the night.
Being situated in a hide from late afternoon until the following morning over four nights with these noble animals was a truly memorable and humbling experience.
