  • THE MAGIC OF WINTERTIME IN FINNISH LAPLAND<br />
<br />
When she was a little girl, photographer Tiina Törmänen built castles out of snow. She spent her childhood in Finland’s Southern Lapland, surrounded by lakes and forests, and each winter, she dug tunnels, doorways, and rooms, illuminated by flickering candlelight. She sang songs to her beloved dog Nappi on dark nights.<br />
<br />
Törmänen was a child of nature; she played with the dogs more than she did other children. She picked wild berries and mushrooms while her family fished and hunted and grew their own vegetables.<br />
<br />
After an Edenic childhood, the artist moved to Helsinki at sixteen. She survived an abusive relationship, one that she feels robbed her of her teenage years, a time that should have been happy but was instead plagued by fear.<br />
<br />
After fifteen years away, the artist made the choice to return home to the North of Finland. She associates the city in some ways with the “dark times,” while in the countryside, home of the aurora borealis, she was able to find solace and comfort.<br />
<br />
When asked if her homecoming has helped to heal old wounds, the photographer suggests something a little more complicated. It takes time, and she’s learning how to cope with the past, not to erase it. Every hardship, she says, has made her strong, and it’s made her cherish the beautiful things in a world filled with ugliness. Most of all, she’s forgiven herself.<br />
<br />
“I have seen a lot shit in my life,” the artist writes, “and after recovering from all that darkness, I’d rather share beauty.”<br />
<br />
Winter is still her favorite season. When the snow falls, she bundles up and wanders into the unknown terrain. She met another dog who became her friend like Nappi. His name was Joppe, and until his passing at the age of fourteen, he spent many days exploring the frozen landscape by her side.<br />
<br />
In a way, after so many years, Törmänen has returned to her snow castle; only this time, it stretches out for miles.<br />

  • THE MAGIC OF WINTERTIME IN FINNISH LAPLAND<br />
<br />
When she was a little girl, photographer Tiina Törmänen built castles out of snow. She spent her childhood in Finland’s Southern Lapland, surrounded by lakes and forests, and each winter, she dug tunnels, doorways, and rooms, illuminated by flickering candlelight. She sang songs to her beloved dog Nappi on dark nights.<br />
<br />
Törmänen was a child of nature; she played with the dogs more than she did other children. She picked wild berries and mushrooms while her family fished and hunted and grew their own vegetables.<br />
<br />
After an Edenic childhood, the artist moved to Helsinki at sixteen. She survived an abusive relationship, one that she feels robbed her of her teenage years, a time that should have been happy but was instead plagued by fear.<br />
<br />
After fifteen years away, the artist made the choice to return home to the North of Finland. She associates the city in some ways with the “dark times,” while in the countryside, home of the aurora borealis, she was able to find solace and comfort.<br />
<br />
When asked if her homecoming has helped to heal old wounds, the photographer suggests something a little more complicated. It takes time, and she’s learning how to cope with the past, not to erase it. Every hardship, she says, has made her strong, and it’s made her cherish the beautiful things in a world filled with ugliness. Most of all, she’s forgiven herself.<br />
<br />
“I have seen a lot shit in my life,” the artist writes, “and after recovering from all that darkness, I’d rather share beauty.”<br />
<br />
Winter is still her favorite season. When the snow falls, she bundles up and wanders into the unknown terrain. She met another dog who became her friend like Nappi. His name was Joppe, and until his passing at the age of fourteen, he spent many days exploring the frozen landscape by her side.<br />

  • Don't let go! Britain's fastest snowboarder reaches speeds of 78mph as the first person in the world to be towed by a commercial PLANE<br />
<br />
He is known as Britain's fastest snowboarder and his latest stunt saw him speed up even more.<br />
Jamie Barrow, who is on the British Snowboard Cross Team, completed a death-defying stunt in the Swiss resort of St Moritz, as he was towed behind a commercial aircraft.<br />
Inspired by old black and white photos of skiers being taxied by an aircraft slowly around St Moritz Lake over 100 years ago, the 22-year-old decided to try the stunt himself. <br />
<br />
The plane, which Barrow was attached to, reached speeds of 78 miles per hour.<br />
His world's first feat was achieved at the Engadin Airport, in front of stunning snow covered mountains.<br />
The initial plan was to perform the stunt on the frozen lake of St Moritz, but with the ice deemed too unstable, the whole operation was moved to the nearby airport. <br />
St Moritz and the Engadin valley are widely recognised as the birthplace of ski tourism, dating back 150 years.<br />
With temperatures at a crisp -17 degrees and bright sunshine, Barrow hooked on to the PC12 aircraft, flown by Swiss pilot Duri Jos.<br />
In order for Barrow to complete the stunt, a long strip of snow-covered grass running parallel to the runway had been piste-bashed for him to snowboard on while the plane pulled him along.<br />

His world's first feat was achieved at the Engadin Airport, in front of stunning snow covered mountains.<br />
The initial plan was to perform the stunt on the frozen lake of St Moritz, but with the ice deemed too unstable, the whole operation was moved to the nearby airport. <br />
St Moritz and the Engadin valley are widely recognised as the birthplace of ski tourism, dating back 150 years.<br />
With temperatures at a crisp -17 degrees and bright sunshine, Barrow hooked on to the PC12 aircraft, flown by Swiss pilot Duri Jos.<br />
In order for Barrow to complete the stunt, a long strip of snow-covered grass running parallel to the runway had been piste-bashed for him to snowboard on while the plane pulled him along.<br />

  • Don't let go! Britain's fastest snowboarder reaches speeds of 78mph as the first person in the world to be towed by a commercial PLANE<br />
<br />
He is known as Britain's fastest snowboarder and his latest stunt saw him speed up even more.<br />
Jamie Barrow, who is on the British Snowboard Cross Team, completed a death-defying stunt in the Swiss resort of St Moritz, as he was towed behind a commercial aircraft.<br />
Inspired by old black and white photos of skiers being taxied by an aircraft slowly around St Moritz Lake over 100 years ago, the 22-year-old decided to try the stunt himself. <br />

  • Peak perfection! Photographer snaps spectacular images showing the beauty of the French Alps from above<br />
<br />
The sun piercing a snow-covered landscape has been captured beautifully in these photos by Polish photographer Jakub Polomski.<br />
<br />
The intrepid traveller ascended the summit of Aiguille du Midi in the French Alps, a height of some 3,842m and often seen as a starting point before taking on Mont Blanc.<br />
<br />
And of course, his camera became useful once at the top.<br />
<br />
Speaking to boredpanda.com, Polomski said: 'You can easily get there by cable car. It was built in 1955 and for about two decades was claimed to be the highest cable car in the world.<br />
<br />
'Aiguille du Midi is one of the best tourist attractions in French Alps. It is also a start point for mountain climbers who desire to climb Mont Blanc. <br />
<br />
'I visited the place twice and experienced different weather conditions up there.'<br />
The first day of Polomski's challenge saw him experience agreeable conditions atop the Chamonix mountain, the weather was warm and sunny, with little wind.<br />
<br />
However the second day things took a turn for the worse, it snowed heavily and the wind picked up making it bitterly cold.<br />
<br />
Polomksi's love for the earth's beautiful and often mysterious landscape has seen him travel to Argentina and Chile, as well as Slovakia, France and Norway among others.<br />
<br />
He described his time viewing the Queens of Andes in Chile as 'the most beautiful national park,' while earlier this year he photographed one of the biggest glaciers in the world in Argentina, the Perito Moreno. <br />

The first day of Polomski's challenge saw him experience agreeable conditions atop the Chamonix mountain, the weather was warm and sunny, with little wind.<br />
<br />
However the second day things took a turn for the worse, it snowed heavily and the wind picked up making it bitterly cold.<br />
<br />
Polomksi's love for the earth's beautiful and often mysterious landscape has seen him travel to Argentina and Chile, as well as Slovakia, France and Norway among others.<br />
<br />
He described his time viewing the Queens of Andes in Chile as 'the most beautiful national park,' while earlier this year he photographed one of the biggest glaciers in the world in Argentina, the Perito Moreno. <br />
