Nature & Hiking in Kiruna
Well, after a long night of partying we all decided to venture out with the car to see all of the beautiful things that Kiruna had to offer. So, we followed the map to a spot where the road stopped in one area, got out and began to explore...........the rest is history

For some reason Sascha wouldnt stop attacking me in the snow......I think it is because I am Canadian and can drink more Whiskey than him.........I dont know?!?!?!?

They beat me up a couple times, but I didnt let it break my spirits...

We really had no idea of where we were going, the terrain and what we would see. We really did find out how deep the snow was though. I am not kneeling in this picture. My legs simply shot right down into the snow and were stuck. I am thinking about a metre deep plus......

Steffen wanted to demonstrate how deep the snow is to everyone. He is a very special young man.......

Snow Angels!!!! We took this pic when we wanted to relax a little bit on the side of the road that runs across this frozen lake. Thats right, they turn lakes into roads in the winter. Apparently, in the summer you can drive by automobile speed limit signs with your boat.......pretty cool!!!

Matthias insisted in taking a close up shot of me......

Oddly enough, we spotted a Moose!!!!!!!!! I had NO idea just how big these animals are. Well, let me tell you that they are *&!%$# big man!!!!!!

I decided to take a closer look. In and around that area I lost my nerve and turned back.......

On the last day, Steffen and I decided to go on our own hike at the base of a couple mountains we found on the highway. The others relaxed in the car or slept. Just thought this was a cool shot. O ya, I am stuck in the snow again, LOL.

Cool shots of me on the trail......

Grizzly Adams DID have a beard!

Nature shots.........

A very cool shadow pic of me just off of the trail.......

Steffen, the German Nature Boy in the flesh!!! He loves this stuff and oddly enough, so do I.....

Again, Bill is stuck in the snow. At least I can laugh about it by now though......

Its a bird.........its a plane...........nope, just good ol' Bill. Steffen and I decided to practice our gymnastics routine on a small cliff before we headed back. LOL, so fun..........
