"In the depths of winter I finally learned there was in me
an invincible summer"
- Albert Camus
 |
| Sun! sun! midnightsun! Robbing you of sleep at night and giving you energy by day! |
 |
| Dinner caught in the lakes with rod and reel, with no skis, cold extremities or ice-hole needed |
 |
| Yes! Insects.... (lots of them ;)) |
 |
| Too warm to sleep in the tent really, but with the midge-mesh system you can sleep bathed in midnight sunlight and to the gentle drumming of mosquitos trying to eat you.. |
 |
| A sea and sky blue and clear viewed from green hills! |
 |
| Birdsong along the grassy lanes |
 |
| Taking time to smell the flowers |
 |
| ...even the very smallest! |
 |
| Yes, this is a Finnmark beach. A quiet and - surprisingly? - warm place on a summer's day |
 |
| And the air is so warm you are tempted to swim up even up here at ca. 600m on the vidda... ;) |
 |
| ...and yes, you take a warm morning bath here :))) (when there are simply too many jellyfish in the sea to swim there comfortably...) |
 |
| Oooh. So sleeeepppyy in the sun... |
 |
| Mmmmmmm......zZzzzzz |
 |
| Festival time: Midnight sun music... |
 |
| Yep. More sun past midnight ;) |
 |
| Exhausting but energising hikes in the early hours of a midnight sun morning... |
 |
| You know 'tis summer when even the sheep (bathed in rainbow light!) are watching the sunset |
