These are lovely. I am wistful that I cannot run off to the lakes for midsummer... and terribly impressed by how very well-equipped people were on picnics in the 19th century.
Thank you! By the way, is Midsummer observed in any way in your place? Do people celebrate it?
I am very amazed too every time I see pictures of the 19th century tourists, especially women in all those skirts, corsets and elaborated hats. And especially when I know that the places they were visiting are still pretty far from civilization even today.
хороший праздник, летний... погода правда совсем не летняя, но тут ничего не поделаешь. На севере сейчас наверно комаров и всякой мошкары навалом. Это сильно портит пребывание на улице.
Говорят, что если весной и в начале лета слишком холодно, то комары сдыхают на корню, не успев родиться. Так что если эта холодрыга еще чуток продержится, то есть шанс на бескомариное лето, как в прошлом году. :)

Or they try to. It's usually raining.
