Juhannus - Midsummer

We experienced the longest night of the year on the 22nd of June.  Juhannus is a night that Finns celebrate, they leave their city dwellings and head to their summer cottages in the country for a long weekend of good food, saunas, spending time with family and friends and making the most of the endless summer nights. The sun doesn't set in northern Finland however where we stayed it set around 11:50pm and rose around 3:00am. Jon and I went for a bike ride after midnight and took some photos after sunset or was it before the sunrise.... The first photo below was at 11:15pm.
