Top of the world

Here i'm at the top of Mountain Ånnfjället at 1301 meters. The rain has just begin. Notice my temporary raincover for my Lowepro Fastpack :) Ten minutes later we are actually inside the cloud, and it's pouring rain and hail from everywhere. Then the thunder and lightning starts. As you can guess we where soon in a hurry downhill away from it. Being inside a cloud in this condition you don't see much, and some passages are dangerous to walk too. Well, afterwards it's one of those memorable day's of my life.

Great composition, you have captured the "I DID IT" mood!!
We like the darkness surrounding you, it makes the photo more intimate and leaves the focus on you. Hiking in Sweden is probably as in Norway - the weather in unstable, you need appropriate clothes and gear - but then; no mountain can beet the hiking experience and joy!
