Just wanted to share some pics from the latest summer trip to Arctic North...
If you truly want to get out and forget time and cell phones this is the place to go! The sun doesn't set at all between late May and mid August, local people don't use traditional time at all, everything's by "the light of the day"... you can have a date just describing where the sun is in the sky The kids are playing outside 4.00 a.m. when the parents are working at the yard... There is nothing to compare to light Scandinavian summer nights! There is magic in the air!
Pair of swans on a midnight swim...
Kilpisjarvi area, north west Lapland
Arctic Sea in July...
