m/s 'ROSELLA' at Mariehamn, Ă…land islands, on Midsummer's eve 2018. The time is around midnight. At this time of year it does not get completely dark at night.
this is taken a few days before midsummers night at 2.30am. the nights are as light as the days here in Lapland at this time of the year. A very magical experience.
Taken in Käylä near Ruka, Lapland. for more information on Ruka and Kuusamo, Lapland visit www.rukakuusamo.com

The human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolours the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it.

Happy Midsummer (or Midwinter)!

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.

North Wales weather rises to the occasion of Midsummer's Day in classic fashion, during the Linnean Society of London's field trip visit to Cwm Idwal, Gwynedd, in the Snowdonia National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri).
Yes this is a terribly bad picture of one of the most important and famous natural history sites in Britain, which I snapped spontaneously on my smart-phone (I didn't dare take my camera out in these conditions). But I've uploaded it to record The Truth. The rain was so heavy (though you can't see it, as such, in the photo), the conditions so gloomy, and my specs so covered with rain drops, I couldn't really compose the shot at all except in a 'trust-to-luck' way. It was a case of point and shoot. I've not even tried to edit it in any way to change anything, because it records the scene precisely as we experienced it. In fact it makes things seem even a bit better than they really were, since I'm sure I couldn't see the cliffs in the background at all, when I took it.
The view (such as it is) is looking S straight into the N-facing wall of Cwm Idwal, where, if it were visible, we would see the notable feature of the great chasm of Twll Du (Devil's Kitchen).
Apparently, Midsummer's Day (June 23rd / June 24th) is an ancient Celtic festival going back thousands of years, so where else should we be but Wales? It rained heavily all day driven by strong gusting winds. I've seen this place, famous for its geology, natural history, and associations with Charles Darwin, in beautiful weather in late autumn when one would reasonably expect to get the kind of weather we had here on Midsummer's Day. And I've seen it now, in high summer as here, in pouring rain. The field party leader had planned for us to have a picnic on the shore of the little lake (Llyn Idwal, out of sight here), but in spite of everything, the party was surprisingly game, and good humoured, and persistent in seeing the sights of the Cwm pointed out, as best they could, by the field trip guides.
(The Flickr geotagging names the locations of this photo as Nant Ffrancon, which is not strictly correct. But in the case of this particular photo, only those who know the skyline of Cwm Idwal well, would be any the wiser.)

IN DARWIN'S FOOTSTEPS
DARWIN'S 'WELSH EXPEDITION' TO THE 'NORTH-WEST MOUNTAINS': AUGUST 5-18, 1831: LLANGOLLEN TO BARMOUTH (ABERMAW)
Darwin did this field trip just a few months before he sailed on HMS Beagle. The field trip was instigated by his then geology professor at Cambridge, Adam Sedgwick, whom Darwin accompanied as a student assistant for some of Sedgwick's longer trip. Darwin also did some the expedition separately from Sedgwick. Much of the geology of North Wales is challenging and there were few previous studies. Although it was a relatively short trip, Darwin later acknowledged that it significantly helped him to develop his geological knowledge and field skills, as well as his enthusiasm for geology generally. It therefore laid important foundations for his Beagle voyage. (It is not always realized that in the years before he published his best known work (Origin of Species, 1859), Darwin regarded himself primarily as a geologist, and was recognized as such by his contemporaries during those years.)
Darwin did not record the exact dates and route of much of this trip, but Michael Roberts (source below) has drawn on various sources to make a plausible reconstruction, which I have used to caption these 'footsteps' photos.
