Summer Photo Network

Finland truly is the land of opposites. While in the winter it is freezing cold and sun doesn't rise at all and it's dark for weeks, in the summer sun doesn't set at all.

Night-time in the summer is especially fascinating. Sounds of lakes, wind and birds, slight scent of forest, flowers and smoke rising from Your sauna makes unbeatable combination together with scene.


Imagine Yourself sitting quiet on a cliff in a still warm night, distant sounds of Great Crested Grebes and Arctic Loons. While it's getting later, distant sounds slowly mute until it is totally calm. Every moment scene turns bit more in to red. You can not do anything but wonder, until You suddenly realize that sun is again rising at 02:00 and it's time to go to sleep.



I decided to shoot one evening on my fishing trip last weekend, 20:00-07:30. You'll find the whole gallery here.
