“It was minus 20 degrees Centigrade when I took this picture.The fog you see is actually ice fog, lots of tiny ice particles suspended in the air.”~ Pentti Sammallahti I start to shiver just thinking about being in this location at this time of the year as I write these words in sunny California. But it is one of Pentti’s most wondrous images. A solitary man confronting the elements. It is on the cover of his long out of print brilliant book “Here Far Away”.
