This is actually taken in the north-east part of Finland in early June. It is just before midnight, and the sun is in it’s lowest point. A couple weeks after, the sun would not go even this low. The lake is Lake Kivesjarvi. My in-laws have a summer cabin right on it. There is lots of wildlife including nesting swans.
Thank you! I’ll be going there again in a few weeks, can’t wait to count how many wild swans we have nesting there this year, and go skinnydippin’ at midnight. Love the solitude of the place. (My inlaws have a cabin on it) =)

It looks really beautiful there. It must be a photographers dream, I hear there are many thousand Lakes in Finland.
Leena Hedman in reply to David Parkin’s comment, 4 months ago
Yes, 40 thousand lakes and 10 thousand little islands along the coasts. The nature is lush, vast and gentle. =)
