Four minutes to midnight in Pasila. The sun has set for a few hours but the glow you can see in the windows is still from the sun.

Finns are often asked how can we cope with our depressingly short winter days and I’m always tempted to answer with a question: “How can you cope with your depressingly short summer days?” From Helsinki it is still a long way to the arctic circle where the sun doesn’t set at all during the summer. In Finland you can enjoy midnight sun in the city of Rovaniemi or any place to the north of it.
Unfortunately this theme day came too soon as there is a huge temporary empty space in Helsinki right now but I have to show it to you later and similarly my midnight photo was supposed to contain something more interesting.
I’ve also made a collection for my 12 personal favourite images from this blog’s entries during the first half of year 2009.
I just find it amazing to see light at midnight!
From way down here it is such a totally disorienting thing to experience.
Lovely light in the photo and a great choice for the theme day photo!
I agree about the Nordic light. It certainly keeps us photographers busy. Still, we’re wasting daylight around the clock while we still have to sleep. I would rather save a few hours now and then and use them in November…
