The Countryside

In Kiruna municipality there are around 50 villages. The distance from highways, congestion and dense buildings. Different than the cities pulse and the everyday squirrel wheel. The area offers rich wildlife and forests, low mountains and marshes. The seclusion is obvious. But, of course, it's a little off track. That's kind of the point.
