Participate in the Gold from Lapland raffle (value 300 eur)

11.11.2025

Summer 2018 somewhere in Lapland far from everything. There where night is not night and day is not day. There where the sky touches the earth.

Misty morning on the river. The steady sound of the pump is buried under the roar of the rapids. The vacuum cleaner’s nozzle sucked gravel. A strange, light-hearted, exuberant feeling filled the mind of the gold miner dressed in a diving suit. A restlessly slept night and the stones that had turned in dreams only added to the strange expectation.

In the crack of the rock GOLD glittered. This beauty had found its place during the Ice Age. Now it got out of that cold grave of the bedrock and the foaming rapids.

In the prospector’s fist the nugget glittered, competing with the sunbeams revealed from behind the cloud. Now its thousands-of-years-long wait is over. Maybe it would now make its way to some lady’s or lover’s neck as a jewel or to a gentleman’s tie pin.

The gold prospector and the beggar of fortune.
