One day during our Finland adventure we went Dog Sleighing with a team of six Huskys. A 16klm trek, and those dogs were so enthusiastic it was a job to hold them back. Great fun and highly recommended.

All I can think is it might have been very cold. The first one
makes me think of an incident and I am not sure which is the
subject, the majesty of the landscape the animals and people
in the background or the sleigh towards the foreground. I
like the first one because the face of the child looking at the
camera is smiling and conveying fun. If he is family, it will be
a great photo to keep for posterity to remember the ride on
the snow.

 LOL, it was very cold. That said with all the thermal gear including undies it was really not too bad. On this day it would have been around minus 7 or 8 degrees C.

In the first you are right to assume an incident. We stopped for a lunch break!

In all, on this trip, there were 6 sleighs with two people on each with x6 dogs pulling each sleigh. The sleigh behind me did have quite a few incidents where they turned over the sleigh. The woman driver (maybe there lies the answer to why there were a number incidents) saw that I leaned into the corners to turn, she thought she would copy and stuffed it up. :biglaugh:
