We stayed next to Pyhä Luosto national park, about 100 km north of the Arctic circle. Now, of course above the arctic circle, you have the 24 hour winter nights, but also the 24 hour summer sun! When I was there, it was one of the last weeks that the midnight sun was visible. For me, living much further south, this was an impressive phenomenon.
On one of my nights here, I decided to take a walk around the park. I was so happy I did.
I spend a few hours enjoying the twilight at 2 am at the lake. It was cold, it was quiet, and magic. I watched the mist appear over the lake. The lake itself at moments seemed frozen in time, not a ripple in it.
It's impossible to capture the magic of those hours in words, or in photos. Here is my best attempt, but go out there and make your own memory.
