I shot this one handheld, and without any filters on my trip to Norway, which was supposed to be only a trip to Kilpisjärvi, where I actually took this one. The scene and the lighting conditions had something bizarre and mysterious to it. It felt a little like a scene from Lord Of The Rings, and the appearance of two hobbits following Smeagol wouldn't have really surprised me ;-)
The clouds were very, very low, the lake still frozen at certain places and everything felt just gray. It was interesting though. When I took a nap after driving like 9 hours through a beautiful sunset, and heavy rain storms, it started to snow, which was only partly funny since I already changed to summer tires. Not much further to the north, in Norway, the scenery was lot different as you can see on my previous images.
I will return to this place sooner or later, as I couldn't get the image which I actually came here for.
Post-processing wise I worked in Lightroom and some finishing touches in Photoshop using my usual LAB routine.
I hope you like it and thanks for visiting.
PS: My greatest and warmest thanks to all of my commenters on my previous images. I haven't had the time yet to reply to your comments, but I will try to do my best in the next few days.

I'm curious what kind of LAB routine you've applied. Care to share the secret? :)

@Joanna: The LAB thingy is actually not so spectacular and very easy to achieve. In this case I simply boosted the colours a little. I did once a little a little video on this. You can find it here:
