With summer solstice just 18 days away, and the pagan Midsummer's Eve rituals (not to be mistaken for what goes on in A Midsummer Night's Dream) on June 24, Sweden is experiencing the height of the "white nights" season. Although Stockholm (at 59°N) is still - technically speaking - below the Arctic circle (at 66°N), we do experience a lot of less than dark nights. The photo above is taken at 11 PM. The sun disc is barely visable by the horizon, but the sky is still bright. And this is about as dark as it gets. This is definitely one thing we love about Sweden. The never-ending bright summer nights.
