Midsummer Bonfire

Midsummer Festival -

not even the sun goes to sleep

This pic is taken last Midsummer. It's the time in Finland that sun does not go down but one could describe it's slowly circling up in the sky. So the nights are not dark at all.

In my family we have a tradition every year at Midsummer Evening to build a bonfire - and I love sitting by it and just watch the flames. And watch. And watch. It somehow feels like the_time_gone, our ancestors in stoneage, is after all not so far from us, because they did the same - stared into flames like we do today.

Sen tulta ja liekkien leikkiä voisin tuijottaa vaikka ikuisuuden. Siihen ei koskaan kyllästy. Tuntuu ihmeelliseltä ajatella, että niin on ihminen tehnyt ihmiskunnan alusta asti.
