Lapporten
by Robert Westerlund
<p>There are no difficult tricks involved here. I have only used a five years old picture (negative scanning) of the Lapporten/Čuonjávággi mountain + a classical sami man. I have also enhanced the colours a bit.</p>
<p>Lapporten, "the Sami gateway", has a long time been a holy place to Sami people.</p>
<p>The image of this mountain is in a way dear to me. Why? My mother received a present for me from a painter (Ture Åslin, who was a friend of my parents) when I was born. This gift was a little oil painting with the motive of Lapporten. Nowadays I have this painting in my bedroom.</p>

Thank you Sylvia! Well, some peaks in the Alps are about twice as high (or higher) than the highest mountains in Sweden :) -

Thank you Kenneth! Persecution of ethnic groups is ugly stuff, I think. Sweden? Well, we are no better than anybody else. -

Interesting concept. Thought provoking. -

Thank you Ricky. Well, maybe it looks like greetings from Lappland, but I swear that I have not copied any nice post card. I would like to think that I am alone with this idea, which goes deeper. -
