This illustration was born out of my love for ice skating and is a tribute to nordic outdoors culture. There is something magical about being out on a frozen lake on a sunny winter day. I have spent much time in Dalarna and Hälsingland and love the mountainous landscape as well as the lakes and streams. When talking about the nordic countries the summer is often mentioned as the most beautiful time of the year, but I think the nordic winter can be at least as beautiful.
