'This may be just the beginning': the guards at Finland’s closed Russian border
As remote Arctic crossing points are shut, officers say they plan to stick to the job in the glare of a geopolitical spotlight.
Standing inside the border station at Raja-Jooseppi - with leather gloves tucked into his fleece-lined hat on the table in front of him and snow falling in the darkness outside - Lt Col Ville Ahtiainen paused to reflect on the geopolitical drama that has descended on this remote part of the Arctic.
The deputy commander of the Lapland Border Guard. "I hope this is over and we can back get to normal life, but we will see."
Little more than an hour before, the final vehicles had been allowed to cross Finland's last open land border crossing with Russia before the entire 830-mile (1,340km) frontier closed for at least two weeks.
All nine Finland-Russia crossing points will now be closed until at least 13 December, with people seeking asylum in Finland directed instead to airports and ports.

'This may be just the beginning': the guards at Finland’s closed Russian border
As remote Arctic crossing points are shut, officers say they plan to stick to the job in the glare of a geopolitical spotlight.
Standing inside the border station at Raja-Jooseppi - with leather gloves tucked into his fleece-lined hat on the table in front of him and snow falling in the darkness outside - Lt Col Ville Ahtiainen paused to reflect on the geopolitical drama that has descended on this remote part of the Arctic.
The deputy commander of the Lapland Border Guard. "I hope this is over and we can back get to normal life, but we will see."
Little more than an hour before, the final vehicles had been allowed to cross Finland's last open land border crossing with Russia before the entire 830-mile (1,340km) frontier closed for at least two weeks.
All nine Finland-Russia crossing points will now be closed until at least 13 December, with people seeking asylum in Finland directed instead to airports and ports.

The Chinook Helicopter has a charming mechanism. The back door drops down, a tank and a soldier emerge, fire a few rounds then go back inside and the ramp closes behind them. All the while the whole thing is circling the floor while the rotors spin, there's loads of engine noise and gunfire and the lights flash. You have to admire the guy who put that much care and character into a two dollar toy.
Photographer Captures Intriguing X-rays of Toys
Australian photographer Brendan Fitzpatrick has spent 20 years documenting the skylines of cities around the world.
His latest series called Invisible Light looks at how x-ray technology can be used to reveal the surprisingly beautiful internal structures of simple objects like tulips, crabs, and toy replicas of robots and helicopters.
The project uses chest X-rays and mammogram machines to explore the inner workings of various objects and natural forms.
The 45-year-old has scanned toy robots, a toy gun, flowers and even a hen's eggs revealing their complex interiors.
The Sydney based photographer explains that he was inspired to look at X-rays while researching for a commercial job.
"The art directors wanted an X-ray effect which I assumed would be created using negatives etc. I never thought it worked so I explored the possibility of using real X-rays. I was very lucky to find a radiologist willing to work with me."
The photographer explains that the project is ongoing, and that he hopes to bring more depth and complexity to his interpretation of the subjects in the future.
Brendan believes the X-ray toys and models would make great wall art. He says that...

Sea otter mom closes her eyes so her baby pup can hide.
Otter Lotta Fun: Mother and Pup Play Hide and Seek
Peek-a-boo, where are you!?
A cheeky sea otter pup appears to be playing hide and seek with its mummy in these hilarious pictures.
The images show the white California sea otter mother paddling around a barnacle-covered post trying to locate the youngster.
But, floating on its back, the pup seems to be pacing its swim to just stay out of sight as it circles the obstacle.
The youth eventually caught up with it's seemnigly exasperated mom - who promptly gave it an affectionate nuzzle.
Michael Yang captured the funny scene at Moss Landing Harbor in California.
He explains: "A California Sea Otter mom and her pup were swimming and foraging for food around an old post. The mother would dive for food while her pup would swim around waiting for her.
"In the pictures, the sea otter pup appears to be playing hide and go seek with its mother. As the mother rounds the post on one end, her pup rounds the post on the other end. The pup even seems to give the camera a mischievous look with its eyes.
"Sea otter pups can't dive for their own food because their muscles are not developed enough and because they are too buoyant from their mothers constantly cleaning their fur, infusing it with air.
"Even when the pups can dive, they often bring up items of little value, such as the rock this pup had pulled off the post. Thus, the pups are reliant on their mothers for usually half a year or more for food."
