About this picture
A remote cabin on the Finnish side of Haparanda. It belongs to the grandmother of my friend Hanna and has been in the family for generations. There’s no electricity or toilets, just a log aga in the middle of the room to heat it. It gets so cold here in the winter that if you don’t wake up ever 2-3 hours to keep the fire going, you’ll be dead by the morning.
