#lappland — Public Fediverse posts

Wir haben eine Huskyfarm besucht im Dezember 2023. Das war krass kalt und die Füße sind uns fast abgestorben. Die haben wir danach im Auto erstmal von der Heizung wieder auftauen lassen😆 aber die Tiere waren richtig gut drauf😄👌

Nu pågår återintroduktion av #bävrar i England. Nyligen släpptes bävrar ut i Somerset.

För 100 år sen gjordes motsvarande arbete i Sverige. 80 bävrar sattes ut på 19 platser från #Småland till #Lappland under 1920- och 1930-talen - ett av världens första och mest framgångsrika #artprojekt.

Lotten von Düben (1828–1915) was a Swedish amateur photographer known primarily for her photographs of Sami people taken during two trips, accompanying her husband Gustav, a medical doctor, on research expeditions. Each Lapp sitter posed for a front as well as a profile portrait … but they were not happy. Wrote Gustav: “Immediately on our arrival we had spoken to them about the photography, something they already knew about or quickly came to understand. Yet for a couple of days it was impossible to get them to sit for us, even though we made appointments + sent messengers to fetch them. We put this down to the customary tardiness and indecision of the Lapps, but later heard a different explanation. When we told them we wanted them to wear their festive attire, + that the old women should have their silver ornaments on … they grew wary + withdrew to discuss the matter. They were afraid that if they allowed themselves to be photographed in their costly apparel I would show the prints to the 'big chief' who would then realize … they were richer than they claimed to be, whereupon he would increase their taxes” #photography #amateurphotography #amateurphotographer #photographer #lottenvondüben #sami #samipeople #lapland #laplander #lapp #lappland #fotografia #fotografie #swedishphotographer #portrait #portraitphotographer #portraitphotography #womenphotographers #vintagephotography
