I've lived almost 30 Finnish summers, yet every new summer, the bright nights surprise me and have me in awe. Technically, the sun does set for a few hours, but it only dibs below the horizon ever so slightly, so the sky doesn't get fully dark at all during the summer months.
Mid summer is still a little over a month from now, and until that, the nights just keep getting brighter and brighter. These I shot in the morning around 4am, just before sunrise. The time between sunset and sunrise is 6 hours as of now, but the twilights lasts so long that it really does not get fully dark during the night. At the latitude I live in, it will get down to 4 hours of night, and then it will start getting dark again. If you were to travel to northern Finland, for a couple weeks, the sun doesn't set fully at all, pretty insane, isn't it?
I need to start being up at night time again, after having a really good sleep schedule for months, I just can't keep missing the magical Finnish summer nights. Though it's not summer yet, like you might see from the pictures, there is frost on the ground because the temperature hovers around zero during the nights.
