NIGHTS, EARLY MORNINGS






1.30 am passing a lake between Rovaniemi and Sodankylä, all silent. A northern town after many reindeers, one white reindeer, curvy Downy Birches, rivers and a sun like a huge pink balloon hanging too low middle of the night. Circus tents filled with movies. The coldest wind middle of a hot day from the Arctic Sea.

Before, at grandmother´s. Flowers in the early summer mornings. A cuckoo that sang 60 times. Swimming in the forest pond at midnight.

Mid summer, what a magical moment.

Happy beginning week to everyone there, good night too.

    Yeah, I love your magical posts, too. Is the sun really never setting during summer months in Finland?

    early mornings are my favorite. My husband and I go to bed extra early just so we can take early morning walks. ;)

    Dear Chisa,

    Finland is a very long country so here where I live it sets, but still it does not get dark. More North, like in Sodankylä where I was for a small trip, the sun stayed quite up the whole night through. It was beautiful.

    Dear all, thank you so much. Wishing you all a secret forest pond on your way!
