14th day, Altevasshytta–Lappjordhytta

The sun shines again above Altevatnet.
The dam construction has messed up the trail here a bit. Old red dots are still visible on some trees.
After a short and steep climb in the beginning it is rather easy walking most on the day. Some streams, some wet ground. No wind, nothing moves. Here it is easy to forget that a different kind of world exists somewhere.
Before going down towards Lappjordhytta clouds appear in the sky and the mountains look moody. Still no wind, just a ringed plover is chirping plaintively. The valley is full of different shades of green and humps in various shapes. Far away Torneträsk reflects dark sky and mountains.
In the hut are two Belgian guys. One of them cooks all the time, the other one just sighs.
25,2 km today.
