I barely managed to run to the top of Solhøj (Sunhill) to get the last glimpse of the setting midsummer sun. No time for putting up the tripod, but a very special feeling that I'd like to share anyway.

"Give me the joys of summer,
Of Summer Queen so fair,
With wealth of lovely flowers
And fruits and sun-kissed air!
Talk not to me of winter
With ice and frost and snow,
Nor changing spring and autumn
When howling winds will blow.
No, I will take the joys
Of Summer every time,
So to this Queen of Seasons
I dedicate my rhyme."
- Winifred Sackville Stoner, Midsummer Joys

From an album I have inherited from Karl Fahlström, married to my fathers older sister Gunhild. Karl (Kalle) was born 1891 in Högbo - Sandviken i Gästrikland.
My fathers older sister Gunhild Sohlström married to Karl and her cousin (adopted) Julia Moback at "Bruket" Sandviken Midsummer 1919. Bruket were houses for the workers at Sandvikens Jernverk.

Few weeks ago Finnish people celebrated Midsummer (juhannus, as we like to call it) and traditionally people had had different kind of believes of magic happening that night. One of the believes had been that if you look into a fountain at the midnight in the midsummer you can see the reflection of your future groom. So, Ivy wanted to try it this summer.
In modern Sweden, Midsummer's Eve and Midsummer's Day (Midsommarafton and Midsommardagen) are celebrated from the eve of the Friday between June 19 - 25. The traditional events include raising and dancing around a huge maypole. Midsummer is one of the only pagan holidays that are still celebrated in Europe (if not the only).
To many Swedes this holiday is seen as a holiday of partying, and as the start of the summer. The cities become almost deserted as most people travel to the country to celebrate. Midsummer rivals Christmas as the most important holiday of the year.

Happy Midsummer to you!
Today is the middle of summer, and it's a pagan tradition to celebrate it here in Sweden, with dancing, feasting and song. This year will be calmer for most I suspect. But still, another midsummer and one with sunshine and all my

This year I finally made it to Latvia for Midsummer celebration. We chose a nice place close to Estonian border to spend the weekend there. It was a nice celebration of the longest day of the year! There's my hubby with my daughter and 2 brothers going for a boat ride in a lake, while I was watching the sunset and taking these wonderful photos.
Our Midsummer celebrations where spent in the traditional way. First we went to the cabin to swim and create havoc around the grill. Then we went back home to sleep.

An essential part of Finnish Midsummer celebrations at the cottage is warming a traditional lake or seaside sauna, and enjoying it with several plunges into the water. The bunch of birch twigs is called a 'vihta' or 'vasta', and is self-made out of twigs got from the woods. We use it in the hot sauna, to bash ourselves with. Must sound weird but it gives a lovely aroma into the sauna, and is good for your circulation, not to mention works wonders on itchy mosquito bites that are inevitable in summer cottages. All this is Finnish summer life at its best!
