Parking place for Arktikum Museum in Rovaniemi, Finland has been used by skateboarders for years. It's not a fancy place to ride but somehow it has always had a special place in the hearts of skateboarders in Rovaniemi. Now the place is under serious threat of destruction as a useless building. This photostory documents Arktikum from snow to snow in the year 2007. This body of work will be presented in an exhibition in the VALO galleria at the University of Lapland during 1.12.-18.12.2008. Contact the photographer if you'd like to have the exhibition at your venue. Photographer
