Midsummer in the North

[kareina]

This week was midsummer. I forgot to check sunrise and sunset times for solstice itself, but for today the sun rose here in Luleå at 01:02, and the sun will set tonight at three minutes after midnight; we are around 65.5 degrees north, so still south of the Arctic Circle, so the sun does set, but, as you can see, not for long

I love the notion of a modern country that is still connected to the seasons this way. Most Americans are unhealthily dissociated from natural rhythms.
