Unexpected images in Lapland

Lately I went to Lapland, to photograph Atlantic salmon on their migration upstreams, jumping over waterfalls. I did it before, so I knew the good locations to do so. But - there was heavy rain, and all the rivers had high water level. No jumping Salmon - there was simply to much water.
So what to do? High water, the landscape around the rivers flooded? Why not go into the flooded forest, as I did it in the Amazon?
So I went into the forest, photographing underwater landscapes instead of jumping Salmon. What a great experience! Water everywhere! In the middle of the forest. And certainly since a long time, as the water was often extremely clear. So I returned from Lapland with a lot of images I would never have expected.
