Thank you for the warm welcome everyone!
The trip was indeed a wonderful experience. While the landscape above the tree line felt rough and so alien (almost hostile to life) at first, it was comforting to then slowly realize how the nature was actually trying to brim with life while the snow is melting away for its short summer season and to encounter the few animals (snow grouses and many reindeers) who call this area their home. And most important of all, clear and clean water was accessible everywhere.
This was the first time testing my Fuji X-T1 and I am glad that the JPEGs colors look good enough that I can skip any adjustment steps.
