在芬蘭的神話中，當一隻北極狐跑得飛快，牠的毛茸茸的尾巴輕輕擦過山巒，就會在天空中撒下閃爍的火花，形成神奇的北極光。事實上，芬蘭語「revontulet」就是北極光的意思，可以翻譯為「火狐狸」。這個引人入勝的神話對拍攝這幅芬蘭拉普蘭的北方夜空照片的攝影師來說尤其特別。畫面中，皚皚白雪的場景在月光的照耀下閃爍著光芒。右側背景高聳著的，是拉普蘭著名的山峰，名叫Saana。當美麗的北極光在頭頂舞動時，前景中的野生火狐狸則興奮地圍著攝影師和他的設備跑來跑去，讓他難以捕捉到這美好的一刻。這是一個幸運的單張照片。
原文:
In a Finnish myth, when an arctic fox runs so fast that its bushy tail brushes the mountains, flaming sparks are cast into the heavens creating the northern lights. In fact the Finnish word “revontulet”, a name for the aurora borealis or northern lights, can be translated as fire fox. So that evocative myth took on a special significance for the photographer of this northern night skyscape from Finnish Lapland near Kilpisjarvi Lake. The snowy scene is illuminated by moonlight. Saana, an iconic fell or mountain of Lapland, rises at the right in the background. But as the beautiful nothern lights danced overhead, the wild fire fox in the foreground enthusiastically ran around the photographer and his equipment, making it difficult to capture in this lucky single shot.
